The statistics presented are startling for most who have not seen them before. I don't think he said Canada was crime free. But comparisons have been frequently made between Seattle and Vancouver, B.C. because they are similar in size and demographics and crime rate. The murder rate in Seattle is 10 times that in Vancouver and I don't think it is considered a high crime city in the US.
