Probably since it has 10% the population of the US. I think from a genetic perspective, there is a certain # of genetically whacked people out of a million that would be predisposed for such a crime. Having 10% the population means I expect a 90% less whacko's doing some odd crime like this in Canada. Add in probably less stress in Canada (I think the US has got to be the most stressed out country to live in), and that further reduces trigger mechanisms for whacked people to do this kind of thing. Just some of my theories is all, or should I call them hypothesis?

-S
crap we are talking percentages here dusent matter how many people you have ythat point has been proven the have a lesser percentage mind you there culture isnt as violent as the US so theres another factor
Its a numbers game. Canada will see less than 10% that the US will. No other way to look at it. Stress of the society also plays a role I'm sure - hence the need to protect ones self in a high stress / threat society.
