In Montreal, it's quite high in my neighboorhood (it's a poor, immigrant neighboorhood, with some gang related shootings and a very mediatized horror crime happening last year). But I live in a part of the neighbourhood which is calmer (heavily student area, on the border with affluent Outremont).
Val-d'Or is Val-d'Or. We have the problems of a city which too much bars and too high rents (public drunkenness and homelessness, not a good mix). Big drug (so, we have the related dealers) and gambling problems, too.
You don't live near the guy who mailed the body parts do you?
Same neighboorhood, but quite far. It happened on the western fringes of it, near the Decarie Highway and border with Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, when I life on the Eastern fringes, on the border with more affluent Outremont.
Well, now, one can suppose he lives in jail, and the Montreal jail is quite far away from me, in Rivières-des-Prairies, on the eastern tip of the island.
