    What? It must be a miss-spell or something because practicly everybody in these forums believes or is trying to make it out to believe that Toronto has the highest gang population, robbery, and murders.

    You would think with the highest populated city would have a tougher time managing it's crime more than others with less population to worry about.

    Huh. I would have thought Vancouver would have passed Calgary.

    Where the heck do you think these guys come from?

    They kill them selves in multiples around here.

    As long as gang members kill only themselves I see no problem.

    Aside from the general undesirability of being around gun fights and the threat to innocent bystanders you mean? :wink:

    I thought it was Winterpig that lead the country in crime but BC's Abbotsford has to be close to the top.

    IU remember hearing that there is a definite connection between gang activity and a booming economy. makes sense since the workforce would be newer and perhaps more transient.

    Unlike Toronto dirtbags who kill young girls standing in line it seems the dirtbags in Calgary can hit their intended target.

    It was intended to remind RR that Toronto isn't high on the list of crime ridden cities since he wants to claim the opposite and post every shooting on the Toronto thread.

    the way I heard it on the radio, Calgary was third place. Edmonton and Winnipeg held the number 1 and 2 spots, but I don't remember who had what.

    Thanks Derb

    Toronto may not lead the country in gang related slaying, but they definitely seem to be near the top of the list of cities that blame Alberta Duck Hunters every time some street punk shoots an innocent person.
