As @mariomike pointed out, Winnipeg, murder capital? Hold my beer .... https://www.netnewsledger.com/2022/06/27/thunder-bay-headed-to-murder-capital-of-canada-title-again/ https://www.ctvnews.ca/thunder-bay-takes-murder-capital-title-from-abbotsford-1.744233...

I feel the same frustration as you re: where the numbers are, but as someone in the same area code as Kenora, trust me, it ain't us that's swinging that big old Ontario vote machine ....

They use quotes when they're quoting someone saying it - in this case ...

Not the first time that "former cop in Cabinet" thing hasn't worked according to plan, for sure.

If it does end up more deliberate than a couple of drunken missileers f#$%^&*(ng up, USSR 2.0 picked the wrong NATO country to poke, given the white-hot hatred of USSR 1.0 🍿
