[QUOTE="Canadian_Rugger, post: 551274, member: 12699"] Aboriginal issues are a big deal in Canada... just google Oka Crisis to find out what we are talking about... the government declared martial law in the 90's and sent in the military to put down aboriginal militant groups. As well, speaking about the murder rate, nationally its about twice what Australia is; however, as Little Guy mentioned parts of the country have considerably more murders and violence then others. In Western Canada for instance Alberta has a murder rate of nearly 7 for every 100,000 people while the territories are somewhere are 15 for every 100,000 people. Last year Toronto had 56 murders. The majority of the country is very safe though and the violence out west is mostly confined to areas with large populations of aboriginals and aboriginal street gangs duking it out with each other for control of the drug trade. Same thing in Toronto where you see Caribbean and latino street gangs duking it out as well. On the topic of the latest musings in the media concerning Mr. Pistorius... everyone right now is going on about a cracked skull and a cricket bat but how do we know the cricket bat even cracked the skull I mean she was shot in the head and if the ammunition tumbled when it hit her this could also crack someones skull ... If anything the media circus caused by this case could maybe lead to some sort of mis-trial! [/QUOTE]
