So I suppose the original question remains unanswered:
Where did you read/hear crime is Canada is skyrocketing?


For the nth time, I read it in the latest "First Freedom"
magazine. Please stop asking questions that I have already
answered multiple times and let's get back to antennas.

I see, that's published by the NRA. Now I'm not suggesting that
everything published by the NRA is heavily biased, but it's reasonable
to suggest there IS bias in their editorial agenda.

(now before you get all up in arms (hey, is that a pun?) defending the
NRA, most special interest group publications are heavily biased to
promote their opinions and values, or lack of them, depending on the origin)

So a few years ago, I read in a 'grocery-checkout-line-tabloid' about
some lady in Maine who gave birth to a harp seal pup, but it's fair to
say that report is not likely accurate. So, as you seem to be well
informed in technical matters - clearly from reading various material
from numerous sources - perhaps it would be prudent to research your
geopolitical demographic information before promoting an opinion based
solely on the line given from one source. To present it as your own
opinion or to side with one source before verifying and validating their
information is to blindly trust your personal credibility with an
outside party; this is akin to letting them speak for you - even though
you didn't verify their statements.

As a bright fellow, you owe it to yourself to validate such statements
before placing your name and reputation on them.

Check with the Fraser Institute, Statistics Canada, or the any of the
dozens of Universities (including American ones) that keep such
statistics about Canada. On average, things are generally pretty quiet
up here.

Still a law abiding guy,
