OK, not the murder capital of Canada last year. Regina edged us out by the slimmest of margins. It was a heartbreaker. Oh soo close. No use crying over spilled milk. We will get that title back this year.
However, it was not all bad news. There was still the award for Violent Crime Severity Index and yes, the city came through on that one. Maybe next year we will win both titles, Murder Capital of Canada and Highest Violent Crime Severity Index. Can we do it? Is such a thing possible?
Ten murders already this year. Its still only the beginning of August. Things are looking pretty good.
I still believe that the City of Thunder Bay is missing out on promoting these achievements. Merchandise is big right now. T-shirts and such. . There is money to be made. Tour boats coming in.
