Quebec City CMA averaged 11.5 murders from 1997 to 2000.Winnipeg average 17.75 in that same period. Quebec had 15 murders in 1998 and Winnipeg had 15 in 1999. That's what I consider similar.

Here is what I found. As you can clearly see by the chart, with the exception of 1985, which seems to be an outlier, Quebec City has never come close to Winnipeg, in terms of homicides. In the 90s, Winnipeg seemed to average 3.0 homicides/100,000, with a high of 4.1 in 1996, to a low of 2.0 in 1992. For Quebec City, homicides averages roughly 1.5/100,000 people, with a high of 2.2 in 1990, to a low of 0.6 in 1995.
The only two years Quebec City has came within 1.0/100,000 homicides, is 1998-99, which seems disingenuous, when we compare the past 40 years, where it's clear the homicide rate in Winnipeg usually doubles, or even triples the homicide rate for Quebec City.
1996:
Most Canadian provinces and territories reported an increase in homicides, most notably Manitoba, Quebec, and Saskatchewan. The only homicide decreases were reported in Alberta, New Brunswick, and Yukon. In general, homicide rates increased from east to west. Manitoba had the highest provincial homicide rate in 1996, followed by British Columbia and Saskatchewan. Lowest provincial homicide rates were in Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland. Among the nine largest metropolitan areas, Winnipeg reported the highest homicide rate, followed by Vancouver, Calgary, and Hamilton
