You appear to be saying that people get whacked at roughly the same rate in both countries, which is simply not true.

In 2005, 658 people were murdered in Canada, while nearly 17000 people were murdered in the States. The ratio is not the same. It's not even close.
The numbers weren't meant to be accurate. I was trying to show that there will inevitably be a lot more of these events in the US than Canada based on sheer numbers alone. Going back, I didn't explain that very well.
