@evan @lazarukb Whenever people make claims about crime being up — or down —, the correct response is "Over what time frame?"
Homicide [0] in Canada was at a high of 755 in 1991, dropped to 511 in 2013, and rose to 882 in 2022. https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=3510007101&pickMembers%5B0%5D=2.1&cubeTimeFrame.startYear=1981&cubeTimeFrame.endYear=2023&referencePeriods=19810101%2C20230101
[0] Homicide is easier to count consistently than other crimes.
