So what are you saying that there is something intrinsically different if there is a black population? Or that Winnipeg is not as diverse, if not more so. If you're trying to argue that then you are being woefully ignorant of both Winnipeg or Minneapolis.
As of economies, yes there are very much the same. A mix of mining farming and manufacturing with a significant portion of service oriented industries. The point remains the same, when you hold all other factors constant, the only factors that explain a significant portion of homicide rates are the differences in gun control. -- Larry C.
