Uhhhmmm no never. Not even close. It's always been quite low, except for last year with all those gang hits. Even then we were below Edmonton who was experiencing the same sort of problem (probably the same gangs)
As far as major cities go, Vancouver and Winnipeg are usually near the top while Calgary (though it has spiked slightly the last two years) and Toronto are usually near the bottom. Edmonton has been gaining (or losing depending which way you look at it) ground quickly over the last 10 years or so I think. Regina and Saskatoon are up there too, but it depends where you cut off 'major city' I guess.
But I agree the anti-Edmonton threads and anti OIler threads are spawning quite quickly.
Maybe some call this newsworthy. They could have a point.
