I lived there for most of my life, in varying types of cities. There is an element to American society that is more violent than Canadian. I think the biggest reason is there is far more poverty and far worse education. The dregs of America are much worse than the dregs of Canada. With the exception of the reservations. And I like the United States, I'll probably move back.
Of course, there are 10 times more Americans than Canadians. So these stories are bound to be more frequent coming from the United States than elsewhere.
