      There isn’t a lot of people up there, so a single murder is more per capita.

        Yup, similar to how one small “city” near me had their stats skewed to look worse than Winnipeg for awhile (the murder capitol of Canada and my hometown) because of one single murder.

        I’m guessing it wasn’t a single murder in each territory. A lot of communities up there are poor, traumatised and isolated, which makes people shootier.

        But Prince Edward Island is the lowest and it has a relatively tiny population.

        Edit: nvm, I assumed wrong

          Mistaking land mass for population.

          PEI has about as many people as do all 3 territories combined. (Quick search, older stats).
