it's weird. at the same time, halifax is also one of the top 6 places to retire to. the two just don't work

[wordling]

Yes, that's the solution. Because if we all do the exact same thing at the exact same time, the streets will be safer

[asmallfall]

there seems to be two separate stats there: the study where they asked 1000 people (which doesn't really properly represent a city with 365,000 people in it!) and the actual statistic from stats canada, which takes into account all the reported crimes, which is the scarier of the two

hello. i found you through plainmabel and i think you're just darlin'. ;) you have the same name as my best friend in primary school, so i think i'm partial. i added you, feel free to add back.

aw, thanks *blush* :)

Statistics are always skewed. I doubt Halifax is any less safe than a lot of Cities in Canada - I always feel safe there.

i don't always feel safe here, but i do live in one of those so-called sketchy neighbourhoods. i feel fine in other areas.
halifax has been getting a little crazy in the past year, but i still don't think it's as bad as they're saying

really???

[sucrerose]

I'm sure Longueuil(suburbia south shore of Montreal) is more violent then Halifax.

Re: really???

i don't really know much about longueuil, actually
just this morning, i heard on the radio about a guy who breaks into women's bedrooms in the south end, and watches them sleep. creepy.
