      I’m guessing it wasn’t a single murder in each territory. A lot of communities up there are poor, traumatised and isolated, which makes people shootier.

      Yup, similar to how one small “city” near me had their stats skewed to look worse than Winnipeg for awhile (the murder capitol of Canada and my hometown) because of one single murder.

        Mistaking land mass for population.

        PEI has about as many people as do all 3 territories combined. (Quick search, older stats).
