What a strange comparison - apples to gang war zones.

If Chicago is too violent then it's equivalent to 6 months in NYC which most people consider safe these days.

There seem to only be 718500 Aboriginal females in Canada and there are 8.5 million people in NYC and in 2017 there were 334 murders.

So 1 murder per 5000 Aboriginal females in Canada and 1 murder per 25000 people in NYC.

With those numbers it sounds like Canada's police force needs a lot of help in lowering that murder rate.
