76.6 murders per Million Canadian visitor years

vs.

8 murders per Million people who live in Calgary based on 2011 stats


Adjusting for this indicates you're more likely to get murdered in Mexico spending equal time there. Hell even Edmonton is twice as safe based on that stat.
This makes no sense. We are talking about tourists. I guess someone who visits Calgary for a week in a year should be really worried according to your logic.
