While the US Murder Rates Continues to rise Canada's are likely regressing back to the 1.4 (Per 100,000) Range from a couple of years back. This year the whole of Canada still has less than 400 murder's. (Even when normalizing for Population Growth).

The murder rate for black Americans (really, young black males) is rising. for anyone outside this group, it's basically unchanged.

And there are exceptions in Canada. Edmonton's murder rate at 3.81/100k remains 35% higher than New York City per capita (2.8/100k). Toronto's is 50% lower than NYC ytd (2.8 vs 1.8/100k), but with MUCH more favorable demographics.

Less black people. Black people, young black men, kill and are killed the most in america in proportion to their pops.

Trying to catch someone being racist huh? Stats aren't racist.

Because black people have been systematically oppressed and disadvantaged by America's racist culture. These "stats" aren't their fault. There is nothing inherently less violent about white people.

Someone in the Canadian forum recently said they were at zero.

"Favourable demographics" aren't necessarily about black people. It's also about having fewer extremely poor, desperate people due to a smaller gap between rich and poor, and the existence of a wider, more generous social safety net.

Have you ever been to Toronto or at least seen what the *absolute worst* parts of the city look like?

Toronto has rent control in apartment buildings constructed before 1991.
