Homicide rates in Canada rose 7% in 2011

Not really shocked

Quebec will be wanting Ottawa to fund a "Blade Registry" pdq.

Well done dumb-on-crimers!

Maybe we can get a double digit increase once all parts of the plan are implemented.

So you pro-on-crime toolboxes have any answers? Ha! You clowns still haven't admitted any responsibility at all for the crime explosion your kind of social policies caused from the 1960's on up.

It's cause we scrapped the long gun registry, no doubt.

44 more murders isn't what I'd call a failure of policy on crime and punishment out of a population of 33 million.

Will you come back next year and say good job hard on crime if the number of murders drops in the next reporting period?

Yep, it's alllllllllll Harper's fault.
Cuz keeping the long gun registry would have prevented exactly this from happening.
Take a look around you sport. Things are tough economically, and have been for 4 years now. When things get tough economically, crime goes up. It's almost as predictable as the tides.

If only Hitler had legalized pot way back when then none of this would be happening today.

Increasing prohibition increases violence.

It's true every time.

Including firearms?

Including meth?

Its proportional to the market. The bigger the market, the bigger the increase in violence.

Things are tough economically? Saskatchewan has two cities in the top 10. Businesses are almost at the point of sending out press
Gangs to get workers. You need to explain that better.
