Your intrepid cub reporter was on the scene yesterday to first report on yesterday's day-time murder.
Of course, it was on the front pages of all the dailies here today. But always turn to whatever the name of this blog is to get the latest in breaking news.
The police found another dead body this morning (don't worry, this one was several blocks away). Depending on when he died (before or after midnight) 2007 could be the deadliest year in Calgary's history.
But let's look at some crime rate stats, murders/100,000 population:
Calgary...........1.9
Toronto...........1.8
Edmonton........3.4
Miami...........17.9
Detroit..........42.1
New Orleans....56.0
So although our crime rate is still very low for a major city, it still makes you think. To get to my favourite pub, I have to walk by this Cocaine Corner. So I walk very quickly and always go with a buddy. A big buddy.
