Good news, Canada. Your national crime rate has fallen to the lowest in a quarter-century.
While the steady increase in violent crime might be alarming, feel some consolation that there are 10% homicides than there were a year ago.
I wonder what happened around 1990 to create that spike in crime rates, and if the drop in crime rates can be accounted for by an aging population.

less people report crime now. police don’t show up if it’s not in progress. try living downtown in vancouver and tell me there’s less crime than 10 yrs ago. no way! fewer reported crimes….lower stats.
