Winnipeg Declared Most Dangerous City in Canada

A recent study by the Fraser Institute has identified Winnipeg as the most dangerous city in Canada based on its violent crime rate, which stands at 675 per 100,000 people, significantly higher than the national average of 262. The report also highlighted Calgary as having the highest violent crime rate among Canada's five largest cities, while Vancouver tops the list for property crime. The data, covering crime trends from 2019 to 2022, indicates a rising concern over crime in Canadian urban areas despite historically low rates. Winnipeg's violent crime includes serious offenses such as murder and robbery, while Calgary and Vancouver also face notable challenges in violent and property crime, respectively. The findings underscore the need for increased awareness and action from policymakers regarding public safety in these cities.
