Rod Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 There’s a quote from a business owner— “we call the police to report when this happens but it feels like it falls on deaf ears” that I can confirm. I had some equipment get shot in fall, I called the cops and they didn’t give a rats ass. They basically said “here’s your case file number for insurance and fuck off” https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/swan-river-crime-rate-1.6728951 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a meth issue, and we legally aren’t allowed to stop someone from stealing your stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hold my beer ACE, this is the closest city to me. THUNDER BAY THUNDER BAY — Thunder Bay will undoubtedly be the murder capital of Canada once again, but the 15 homicides are just the tip of the violent crime iceberg in the city, says acting Police Chief Dan Taddeo.
