Imagine comparing Vancouver crime to an American city counterpart
Come on.
The kind of crime that makes the nightly news in a US city would make the news report for weeks in Vancouver.
A mass shooting of some type happens almost any given week down here in Texas. You know how many reports I see here in San Antonio of dudes just laying a few rounds into another person's vehicle over road rage incidents? Almost daily.
Some parts of America are pretty crazy man, you're told down here not to use your horn unless it's serious, as there's a good chance you might get a Glock round in your driver's side door. You'd never find anything like that in Canada.
Vancouver has never came close to some of the sketchy areas I've been to here in the US, that combined with the lack of armed citizens, Canada is a fucking cakewalk compared to down here
I honestly am looking forward to coming back home. I love the warm weather (t-shirts and shorts in December), but you definitely start to appreciate what we have back home, and what we take for granted that isn't here.
