You've got me convinced.  |
Its statistical based on population.
Say the murder rate is one per 100 000 people. (Its a high example, but whatever)
Canada has 33 million people, so there would be a statistical expectation of 330 murders.
United States has 305 million people, so there would be a statistical expectation of 3050 murders.
The US has 9.2x times the instances of murder, but the ratio is the same.
Simple enough for you?
