Do you suppose immigration policy may have any bearing on this violence?

I would like to see the statistics comparing White folks in Canada to White folks in the USA. I would bet they would not be that different.

Well, I think it's more a cultural issue than a racial or ethnic issue.

If you look at similar areas culturally, like rural areas, on both sides of the border, crime rates are nearly identical, despite much higher rates of gun ownership on the U.S. side.
