True. But for Québec City it represented a significant spike in the long term downward trend.
Also, how weird is it for Montreal to go 56 days without a murder?
30 would indicate one every 12 or 13 days. Obviously, there is always clustering but currently Montreal is the anti-Toronto.
Last year (2015), March 11 to May 17 saw one murder on April 7, which is a period of 67 days. So, if this continues to March 4, it will start to become very exceptional.
August 3, 2014 - Nov. 6, 2014 - 1 murder. More than 60 days, again.
March 18 - May 16, 2014 - 59 days without a murder.
Not as exceptional as I would have thought.
I have found an even longer gap in 2013, Feb 2, 2013 - April 12, 2013 - 68 days.
