I'm pretty sure that the crime rate has gone down in both Canada and the US. Later on that same page it even says "the crime rate went down 1% last year, but the murder rate went up". Kind of confusing.

The two aren't mutually exclusive; the crime rate is made up of several different indicators which could have all gone down, while the murder rate increased. Overall, it could result in the so-called crime rate reducing.
