THIS.

It is absolutely horrific. Thunder Bay has a higher percentage of university graduates than Winnipeg, but you wouldn't know if by checking our Facebook groups!

Four more homicides in the GTA during the last 12-24 hours, one in Brampton. one in Mississauga, one in Vaughan and one in Toronto proper.

Ottawa is at two following one during the previous weekend. Both homicides appear gang-related (probably drug-dealing related as well)

Still zilch in monty.

There was a string of shootings around late december, and then things have been quiet since then.

Toronto had 10 in January? I don't think they had 10 in any month in 2015.

Toronto is at 13

Last winter was obviously a lot colder, but seems strange Toronto murders are so high.

I search but couldn't find the answer: did we ever get >= 100 homicides in a city ever in the past?

Toronto's in the early 1990's came close. But never touched 100.

Montreal in the 70s and late 80s.

JuelzJones · #**2450** Posted **Feb 11, 2016, 1:54 AM**

Yeah Montreal's have been over 100 three times

There was a murder last weekend in Hamilton, however there's a big debate happening as many believe it isn't murder.

A person from Six Nations (Oshweken) was trying to steal a truck in the driveway and the homeowner shot and killed the person. The police charged the homeowner with second-degree murder.

If there are folks out there who think it's OK to shoot someone who may be trying to steal your parked truck, then I fear they will not be happy with how this case turns out.

I don't know if the data is up to date, but if it is, there hasn't been a single murder in the entire province of Quebec since Jan 1st - that's almost 6 weeks. Impressive!

Rico Rommheim · #**2454** Posted **Feb 11, 2016, 6:13 AM**

Impressive numbers for Montreal. The city's murder rate has plummeted since the 70's, and even in the past decade.

Anyone know if Statscan counts a killing in self-defence as part of their homicide stats?

vid · #**2457** Posted **Feb 18, 2016, 3:38 AM**

Stat Can just reports what the police report, so it depends on whether the police declare it to be homicide or not.

Is Montreal still at zero? I think it is.

Ottawa had its third last night.

Gatineau almost has its first on Saturday night.

Shooting in a quiet residential neighbourhood. Victim badly hurt but expected to survive.

House was rented to a bunch of ''students'' so they said, via airbnb. Shots rang out at a party they were having.

The owner of the house said the dudes that rented were from GTA and spoke no French.

According to the Citizen, the Ottawa victim, a 19 year old from Overbrook, named Mohammed Ali Hassan, was "known to the police". Sometimes it's like they are reporting the same homicide over and over again, if you know what I mean. At least the alleged killer has been arrested.

Indeed. Although the accused's last name is Leblanc, which doesn't follow the usual pattern these days.
