But that's a large jump to go from Calgary's handful of murders to Edmonton's 33. The fact of the matter is Edmonton has always had a higher murder rate. I think part of the reason is a more blue collar city. I'm sure there are other factors. The frustration over the Oilers for instance.
Many of them still have mullets and are very susceptible to living in the past. Over time this leads to depression and other problems, and eventually you just want to kill someone.
