Canada is such a crime-free peaceful place:

Canada has narrowed due to a precipitous drop in the violent crime rate in the U.S. For example,
while the aggravated assault rate declined for most of 1990s in the U.S. and was 324 per 100,000 in
2000, the aggravated assault rate in Canada remained relatively steady throughout and was 143 per
100,000 in 2000. In other areas, the U.S. had a faster decline. For instance, whereas the murder
rate in Canada declined by 36% between 1991 and 2004, the U.S. murder rate declined by 44%. [17]
***Both Saskatoon and Regina consistently have violent crime rates that would place them among the
10 most violent cities in the US***, and often individually exceed larger US centres in terms of
total numbers for Aggravated Assaults and Robbery.[citation needed]" (Emphasis added)

Can you not read or do you just have trouble comprehending because of
your narrow mindedness? IF you could understand what you've posted,
you'd realize that the U.S. has more violent crime per capita than
Canada.
