Euh... Only if you want to collect insurances?
Id say there's less violent crimes but also more cheap crimes like thievery n stuff. People in Canada knows that you can do a lot of stuff like growing weed and if you get caught, the sentence is ridiculous anyways. Well, as long as there s no violence, violence in a crime inputs a factor of 6 in the sentence ( or something like that. )
Heck, In Canada, if you got kids, you can roll over some guy you don't like with your car, kill him, then all you gotta say to the judge is "sorry, was an accident" and "hey, I've got kids that depends on me, who s going to feed them if you put me in jail?" and you're likely to spend 2 years in the community, aka don't step out of your home past 7 pm.
So just get Netflix and an internet connection.

update: i recently witnessed 2 white people(a man and a woman) walking in a street when there was a sidewalk present. so that rules out race, and sex. which should have been obvious in the first place, but i can only go off of what i see personally.

How wide is the sidewalk, I usually like walking on the street if it means that the sidewalk doesn't get "crowded" or uncomfortable for either the peeps I'm walking with, or for people coming opposite me on the sidewalk.

i know what you're alluding to, and no. these were the kinds of white people that would likely be named "chip" and "buffy". so it's not a culture thing, either.

no, the sidewalks i am talking about are empty, and certainly wide enough, clear of obstructions, and without any sign of sidewalk repair(meaning, no gaping holes with city personnel working on them). i'm talking about a perfect sidewalk here. and, NO traffic on them whatsoever. thus, absolutely NO reason to walk in the street, when these sidewalks are present.
i'm not a fool. i wouldn't get angry at someone who had to walk around something that was in their way. there is absolutely NO excuse, in the instances that i am irate about. there was absolutely no excuse, either, in the ferguson incident(how it began). and police are the people who have to deal with this kind of thing. if it is becoming rampant, then it is going to be an ongoing and potentially volatile situation, between cops and civilians. i think people who walk in the street when there are perfect and uncluttered sidewalks, are provoking instances of violence.
these kinds of people are creating situations, that will further turn the public against the police(which will cause a whole lot more trouble in the long run. a WHOLE lot more trouble). because the general consensus seems to be that cops have no right using violence to keep people from being deliberate ass****s(people being deliberate ass****s is something that is becoming more and more rampant. if it is continually allowed, things will get much worse for everyone). i, however, do not. i see it as a form of criminality, when you consider the thoughts behind the person who does such a thing. moreso, when people do not understand this simple fact. it is an inflammatory, and provoking act, that the general public seems to think is somehow innocent.
like i said before, it is the same as breaking windows, and waiting for the cops to show up. the difference is, people DO NOT see this as a deliberate crime. one that can have DEVASTATING effects in the long run.
and before anyone goes off on a tangent about how i'm overblowing mere jaywalking(which i would point out, is defined by "illegal or reckless pedestrian crossing of a roadway"), please, read again, and consider the very valid point i am making here.
