Just look at NYC and LA
NYC and LA have murder rates well under 10/100,000. NY's is comparable to western Canadian cities. But thats only homicide, other violent crime and property crimes are lower in these two cities than in many major Canadian ones.

EDIT: Actually, unless they are calculated differently, New York's violent crime rate is lower than any Canadian CMA.
