    ONCE AGAIN YOUR NEAR THE TOP SUURY …… GOOD WORK

    • Mike

      You do know that the higher the rating the worse it is right? Surrey is ranked 9th … 106.90 (Surrey's rate) is the percentage difference with the national average which is horrible!

      • Mr. Johnson

        Right, I'm sure he knows that. Mr. Wilcox has been sarcastically rooting for Surrey's place near the top spots in nearly all categories.

    I live in Winnipeg and we here don't refur to them as native, and the reason the crime rate is so high is because the police here don't go in to the bad areas they drive alone the main drag's and try to avoid doing any real police work, like walking the beat!!. get out of your cars and do something for a change..

    • Kay

      What do YOU refer us as?

  • Nata A

    Happy I moved from Winnipeg to Moncton. I feel so much safer!!

  • jim

    judges and lawyers have the common sense of an oyster…why not cut the crap in the courts …police are wasting time catching and lawyers get them off..lets start robbing and killing lawyers and maybe things will change

  • Ipman

    Yeah i agree, Jeff. For myself as a Aboriginal, I attend too see a lot of acting up and getting under the influence by watching so much television that they think its a game too try Robb somebody and act like there from LA. Personally LA is the worst for children to live and for yourself.
    Although in 2003 comparison of twin psychological studies by the Lancet and Rand corporations indicates that children in South Los Angeles are exhibiting greater levels of post-traumatic stress disorder than children of a similar age in Baghdad, the war-torn capital of Iraq."
