Can this be done without hurting some groups' feelings? RCMP noted that family and spouses were largely responsible for MMIW, and that drew criticisms of racism. Until people are able to address any and all aspects of the problem, nothing will improve.

That can't just be right-wing bullshit can it?

The crime rate there was just as bad when the Dippers ran the place. It's a generational thing that has pretty much nothing at all to do with whoever is in control of the provincial government.

Crime is primarily a result of socio-economic conditions. It can also be a product of age demographics,as larger youth populations often lead to higher crime rates.
