I think it varies per province actually, but I'm not 100% sure.

EDIT: Just saw your other post. Thanks!

Hilarious. Further proof of my ignorance and arrogance comment toward Saskatchewan.

Yes, using statistics from 2006.

Yes, still using statistics from 2009, yet you fail to mention how the crime rates are falling. Some of the articles I've posted talk about disadvantaged people in some places of Saskatchewan contributing to the problem; that can't be fixed overnight.

Or how about we look in this article from 2006. Doesn't look like it's just Saskatchewan with the crime rate problems:
http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2007/...ime-stats.html

Rural areas of Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Alberta had the highest homicide rates in the country, the study suggests. In Ontario and British Columbia, rates were higher in large cities.

Overall, the highest crime rates were reported in the small urban areas of the western provinces — British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The lowest rates were observed in rural areas of Quebec, Ontario, Newfoundland and Labrador, and New Brunswick.

Or this one, which lists Saskatoon as 4th and Calgary as 6th in terms of murder rates.

I'm sorry for dragging the thread off-topic, but I really felt that my points had to be said. Some of the responses after just prove my original point.
