Don't need a gun up here...the local boaters are all friendly and helpful if you need it.





I don't know the context here, since I don't know what you are

responding to, but the murder rate per 100,000 people is 2.8 to 3 times

higher in the United States than it is in Canada.



Among modern Western democracies, the United States is the leader in

murder rate and in percentage of population incarcerated. Not statistics

about which to brag, eh?
