Edmonton has had 40 murders so far this year, an all-time municipal record, with potentially 2 more being investigated. <br /><br />So Edmonton is leading the country in murders not only per capita -- with 1 murder per 18,810 people, compared to Winnipeg, our closest rival, with 1 murder per 21,378 people -- but as an absolute number. <br /><br />For comparison, Calgary, with 1 million citizens, has had 6 murders so far this year. See:<br /><br />http://www.ctv.ca/CTVNews/Canada/20111012/edmonton-homicide-rate-leads-country-111012/<br /><br />So what I'm saying is, if Edmonton did a word cloud for our news topics, all of the words not about hockey would be MURDER MURDER MURDER MURDER MURDER MURDER <br /><br />-OzAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
