Wow, I was just listening to Fox news in the US and they mentioned this event. Crazy.

And I don't mean it is as dangerous/tragic/sad now then ever before in the history of the human race but the threats to our lives when we leave our borders is greater than it has been in my life. Which is pretty short in the grand scheme of things. Looking at that chart above, it isn't getting that much worse statistically (violent crimes), it just seems like there is more and more going on around the world, not just Canada.

We don't even hear about the sex slave trade, drug mules, child pornography and other unspeakable crimes occurring on a regular basis around the world. We live in a very safe country and every Canadian should kiss the ground they walk on as things could be much, much worse.

So yes, you are correct but things are worse in the world over the last 2 or 3 years. I can't even imagine how much worse it will get over the next 10 years.
