Prince George was cited for its gang wars, its drug problems and for being home to Cody Alan Legebokoff, a 21-year-old who police allege has murdered at least three women and a 15-year-old girl.
Victoria, meanwhile, was shown to have particularly high rates of robbery and sexual assault in comparison to the rest of the country.
The rankings were derived by assessing crime data from Statistics Canada from 2010, looking specifically at homicides, sexual assaults, aggravated assaults, robberies, vehicle thefts and break-and-enters.
Saskatchewan's two biggest cities were also among the country's most dangerous cities, according to the rankings, with Saskatoon placing third and Regina fifth. Red Deer, Alta., was fourth.

I was surprised to see Victoria ranked so high. I have never been there, but I thought it had a reputation of being a nice city without much crime. I was also surprised to see Peterborough ranked so high and Gatineau so low. I have been to both many times and found Peterborough to be very nice and Gatineau is a hole for the most part (at least downtown).
