Instead of carrying a key they keep the key in a lockbox on the door so when they want to get in they use the lockbox every time to unlock the door. We use a Smart Lock, which is way more convenient. I have friends that have locks with keypads. The only time I have seen the lockboxes is for AirBnBs and for real estate agents showing houses.

We have maybe 1-2 murders in my town a year (if that) The only murder last year was a hit job on the boarder with Hamilton. Besides that, I feel comfortable with the door left unlocked for the day. Growing up though (30-35 years back) we had briefly a Pakistani family living a few doors down. Their young son would constantly go into our backyard and take our Sesame Street paddle car once everything went dark. Only stayed in the neighbourhood a few months but it pissed off my dad. 21 minutes ago, Joe said: I don’t think many American realize how much lower the crime rates are in basically every other first world country. Yeah in my city of 250,000 we have a handful of murders per year, and it's almost entirely gang-related. Random violence is basically unheard of. Smaller stuff like vehicle break-ins (or back alley garage break-ins) happen, but almost never violence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's Texas with the pop of the Dakotas. Decent density in the two main cities (250k and 300k), but outside of those the largest pop centre is 35k I think. And Saskatchewan has more grid roads than any other jurisdiction in North America due to the huge amount of farmland. Easy to remain hidden, rurally.

One of them has been "at large" since May. It could take months to find them -- the two teens who shot people in '19 were eventually found dead 2000 km away from the crime, almost a month later. These guys, who have already been on the run for months... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbsolutSurgen Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 True fact: Saskatchewan has the highest murder rate in Canada (in 2020) -- almost triple that of Ontario, and five times higher than Quebec. Regina had the highest murder rate of any metropolitan area in Canada in 2021. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ominous Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 I mean we don't really have much crime here, but I still lock my door. I think the last murder here was in 2011, and prior to that 2001. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regina had the highest murder rate of any metropolitan area in Canada in 2021. For sure. For comparison (per 100,000): St. Louis - 69.4 (Highest city in US) Washington DC - 17.0 Louisiana - 15.8 (Highest state in US) Dallas - 14.9 USA - 6.9 Saskatchewan - 5.9 (Highest province in Canada) Regina - 5.7 (Highest city in Canada) Vancouver - 2.2 Canada - 2.1 Toronto - 1.8 Regina achieved that 5.7/100k homicide rate in 2021 with 15 murders, most gang-related. If you reduced that to 14 you get 5.3/100k, and if you increase to 16 murders you get 6.1/100k. We have a small population, so one shootout between gangs can increase our homicide rate by 20-50%. It's definitely a case where the small population causes the number to swing wildly year to year. I'm not downplaying that Regina has a high homicide rate for Canada...but it's not a dangerous place to live, especially since something like 80-90% of the homicides take place in a concentrated 10x10 block area. It is the shithole of Canada, though (the province). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the limited info the RCMP have released, the killings started as targeted, so possibly gang activity or some dispute, and then spread to the surrounding community. One brother is dead, and I just got an emergency alert from the government on my phone that the other may be injured and seeking medical attention.

CitizenVectron Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Updated to 11 dead (including one brother) and 19 injured (including second brother). Police always they don't know who the surviving brother entered Regina with (two people were in the car when it entered the city). They say that the dead brother did not die of suicide.

Derek Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 They're saying he went into 'medical distress' and died after being arrested. Myles Sanderson, the subject of a four-day manhunt that left an entire region northeast of Saskatoon on edge, was spotted near the town of Rosthern and ended up driving into a ditch while being pursued by police cruisers. "Shortly after being arrested, he went into medical distress," said RCMP Assistant Commissioner Rhonda Blackmore. She said officers performed life-saving measures and he was transported by ambulance to a Saskatoon hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

CitizenVectron Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 It's entirely possible that he died of injuries sustained before, or tried to overdose as he was being arrested. It's also possible that the RCMP killed him, knowing police history here (in Saskatchewan as recently as the 1990s, police would give "Starlight Tours" to arrested Indigenous men in winter, dropping them off at night into fields outside the city of Saskatoon without proper winter clothing). Saskatoon freezing deaths - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG Again...he deserved to no longer be alive. But the families also deserved to see him tried and sentenced, and to hopefully find out more about why this entire thing happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
