Dude, Canada has Crime.... What's wrong with you people, haven't you ever watched Flashpoint?!?
...ok, that was in jest, but it is a cool show and yes, everywhere has crime. Think about Montreal. It is a hugely international city, more so than even Houston, I dare say. Throngs of people from All Manner of places. Tell me that they left all of their criminal element, organized or otherwise, in whatever tropical location, eastern bloc, or "stan" they came from. Tell me there is no possibility for ethnically fueled hatred or violence. And what of the Old Machine that was running the place before they came? A city that size always has an underbelly, and a city that old has an old guard that runs the forgotten side of town. There will always be young upstarts. The fact is that Canada somehow does an awesome job of keeping the peace.
...how did I get up on this soap box?
