In reference to Bram's comment on my previous post, Upheaval in the Great White North regarding the Liberal efforts to disarm Canadians leading to a less than interesting Canadian Civil War:

It's being reported that despite the lack of guns in the hands of honest Canadian citizens, the ability of Canadians to commit violence and rapine on their compatriots has not lessened. In fact, it has increased. Canada's rate of violent crime is now twice that of the United States - 963 per 100,000 compared to the States' peacable 475. Sexual assault is also twice the US level. Overall crime rates are half again that of the US. Looking on the sunny side, if you are injured in the course of a violent assault (a likely outcome, all things considered) you won't have to pay for treatment! Isn't that great? Of course, you may have to wait awhile...
