Thus the extraordinary increase in crime here vs the national average. If anyone has stats to support or disprove, please provide.

No man, no
Why post something with a strong opinionated point, about a topic you not only have no stats about, but also state that you have no stats or facts or knowledge about??
I know it’s the internet but still
Why don’t you start with some basic googling first before requesting others disprove something you have simply opined out of thin air
I’m sorry guys for coming across as a crumpet about that post - it irritates me how the self loathing on winnipeg is often misguided. Are the crime and addiction issues valid? Absolutely. Are they so severely bad that winnipeg is some arm pit stain black hole that sucks and festers and outdoes every other city in Canada because, y’know, “winnipeg” and “I have no evidence whatsoever and I have no facts but: opinion”
Winnipeg doesn’t even come close to Vancouver in terms of those issues. Heck is doesn’t come close “per capita” to places much smaller than it.
/rant crawling back into lurking mode now. Also sorry sheepish for taking your post hard I apologize if out of line or offensive - but seriously man, constructive criticism; do some googling first
