Calgary has a reputation for having a lot of rednecks because it is home to many rednecks. I would argue significantly less than the rest of Alberta, but there are still plenty of rednecks.

This is a good point. The vast majority of murders are not gang related. They normally involve domestic disputes and occur between people who know eachother.
The one or two bystandards a year who die in gang related violence in Canada do, however, get a lot more press.
As for violent crime on bystandards in general, the simple truth of the matter is that you are way more likely to be assaulted by a drunken redkneck at a bar than be attacked by a gang of immigrants.
