I am deeply concerned over random violence like the above becoming more and more common in my hometown Winnipeg. It's hard to ignore this type of news when we lead the country in crime, murder, car thefts etc.

I agree, Winnipeg is kind of nuts. There's just too much urban poverty! Poverty is cultural so there's not much you can do about it short of being a good influence on others (push your friends to go to uni/college/tradeschool!) Maybe we should make post secondary school OR getting into business OR military service mandatory. Either you become educated/trained or you fight for your nation!

The advantage though is when you come from Winnipeg nothing fazes you abroad. That's why we're great travelers.

What are you doing about it?

I'm doing something about it. Right now I am phase 2 of my anti-crime orbital sniper platform "ACOSP" for short.
Once complete, ACOSP will orbit earth with its 24 mega lasers and will burn holes in criminals. We will do away with those dumb gps anklets, all criminals will have a locator/info chip inserted deep in their abdominal cavity. if they enter any business and commit an offense the chip will send out a signal, it will be processed and then the ACOSP will target and terminate the offender.

Of course, it would increase illegal after-hours sales of booze.
