Well, you need statistical context to get an idea of what it means. There's about 800 murders per year in Canada, so just over 2 per day. So one of every 12 murders is a woman murdered by her partner, or 8% of homicides if one woman is murdered by her partner every 6 days.
The national averages in Canada in 2022 show that 32% of homicides are family related with 18% being an intimate partner.
