Awesome, thanks for that data. Would you be willing to post similar breakdown for the US. I’m on mobile and have no idea how to format it so nicely.
This is a point I was going to bring up. Having a big brother to the south lets them spend money that OUGHT to go towards defense, on their glorious social programs.
Same thing with Europe. The Euroweenies have been mooching off of our defense budget for years.
And another thing. People of African descent make up 13% of our population, but commit about 40% of the crime. (Actually the 3% that are the males between 14 and 40 commit 40% of all crime.)
I bet a lot of medical bills are saved by not having so much crime in Canada.
