Winnipeg is number 1!
Highest crime rate per capita!
Take that Edmonton!
I do love Winnipeg, I spent the last few years of my life there and I miss it but they need to wake up and realize they have a genuine problem. It isn't "Friendly Manitoba" and the longer they keep their delusions of being a friendly little town disguised as a big city the longer they will keep turning a blind eye to the crime that plagues the city. I searched the Winnipeg Free Press website today and they're not even talking about these new stats released by Stats Canada.
While they're at it, they could also stop telling me how dangerous my hometown of Toronto is. After all we're actually the safest city on the list.

Re: Winnipeg is number 1!
That's Toronto's fault, not Winnipeg's. If people in T.O. would stop making it sound as if the worst gang war in history were going on there, with more gun crime and murders than anywhere else, nobody else would think that either.Hotel Tango wrote: While they're at it, they could also stop telling me how dangerous my hometown of Toronto is.

no sig because apparently quoting people in context is offensive to them.
Re: Winnipeg is number 1!
I agree with Grimey, but I think a lot af crime in TO goes unreported due to the huge ethenic population; some of which do not trust the cops.The gun crimes are always re reported as per Commandant Millar.

Apparently when it comes to beaches, Winnipeg (the lake anyway) is in top spot.
Are we there yet?

65% of the time 93% of 1/2 of the statistics are created to tell a story that is only 16% accurate + or - 10% of the time.

I am told the best avionics shop in the world is in the 'peg.
Isn't that true, Dale? .?

Re: Winnipeg is number 1!
Don't know about the rest of Winterpeg, but the Shell fbo is the best in the area 

What little I do know is either not important or I've forgotten it!

I especially like the drunk people on the downtown corners in Winnipeg telling you to go "#@*&" yourself. That was a personal tourist highlight of mine. At least in Toronto they just hold signs.
Re: Winnipeg is number 1!

for a truly memorable visit be sure to drive through the "low track" on a sunday around 7 am.

WPG OH YA! One of the top three cities in Canada who has a lowering crime rate every year!
Re: Winnipeg is number 1!
You know why there is a high punk ass crime rate in YWG...because they are not properly organized.
