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?
