Homicide stats in Canadian Cities - Page 244

If you count opioid overdose deaths, which are just under 23/100,000, our homicide rate is around 28-30/100,000. This puts us on par with US cities like Newark, Memphis, Cleveland and Kansas City, before you factor in their opioid deaths.

Thunder Bay's detox centre, which they mention at the end, has 8 beds. Eight. A single digit number.

Winnipeg now at 9!

Ottawa had one this week, as a result of a stabbing in the Market area. Not sure how many that makes so far this year.

Darkoshvilli · #**4864** Posted **Mar 26, 2020, 9:47 PM**

Montreal has 3.

Any predictions on violent crime, homicide? In the short term, I can imagine a dip in all crime, violent or other. Maybe more domestic violence, however ie couples getting on each other's nerves, drinking too much, etc. Long term? Who knows? All Hell could break loose...

More property crime, less violent crime, I’d wager.

I recall reading a couple of articles that spoke to a major uptick in domestic violence in China when they were in their lockdown state. Not at all surprising, but it was justified by saying that the focus is on population survival. Kind of a depressing scenario, but here we are.

As I may have mentioned in another thread, I had an encounter with a Winnipeg police officer earlier this week who said things were very slow for them right now, at least relative to what they're used to. But who knows where they might be in a couple of weeks.

A 90 year old man found dead at a apartment building in suburban Ottawa in the wee hours this morning. Police are reportedly treating it as a homicide.

Watching the news channels this morning and their sporadic (extremely sporadic in the case of the CBC) coverage of the shootings and manhunt in Nova Scotia, I can understand why people in "regional Canada" get pissed off at Toronto-centric media.

There is an active shooter situation with a manhunt going on in Nova Scotia over a 100-150 km area, and these guys only break in to their coverage of the reopening of injection sites in Toronto or Donald Trump with occasional very short updates that are just re-hashing the previous ones - often re-broadcasts in fact.

This story broke before midnight last night and at the time this guy was finally caught (12 hours later), neither CBC nor CTV had dispatched any reporters from Halifax to cover the story.

MonctonRad · #**4872** Posted **Apr 19, 2020, 4:34 PM**

Agree.

It pisses me off to no end that there is now no regional CBC television news programming in the Maritimes at all - NONE!

This is presumably for the duration of the pandemic, but how long will this be??

CTV and Global are still going full blast. Why can't CBC.

Acajack · #**4873** Posted **Apr 19, 2020, 4:50 PM**

Friends of mine on social media who are close to the police and emergency responder community are now posting grieving Mountie images.

Not a good sign.

Unconfirmed reports talking about anywhere between 3 and 8 people deceased in total.

Atlantic Canada has 2.5 million people. It's big enough to have its own news channel.

Yeah, the CBC is starting to go down the VIA rail road: a Federal crown corporation that doesn’t produce services of value for large swaths of Canada.

If it’s any consolation, the CBC’s depiction of Torontonians in its shows is far removed from the lives of most Torontonians.

Yeah; if all those people lived in the same area. People in Campbellton don't care about news in Halifax just like how people in Gander don't care about news in Moncton. Without any regional cohesion they're left with the status quo.

CTV Atlantic is able to pull it off (more or less), but you do hear grumblings from NBers about how Halifax centric the news programming is. At the same time, Haligonians complain about all that useless news from NB.

It's a narrow tightrope to walk, but they do it pretty well........

Well, this would explain why news reports initially from the pursuit mentioned he was driving a vehicle resembling an RCMP cruiser, and may have been wearing an RCMP uniform.

Do you remember ATV Headline News on ASN between 1996-1998. It was a nearly 24 hour news channel.
