Compared with the same-sized US cities Montreal is OK. However safety wise it's not the same Montreal it used to be 10 years ago.

I don't think the US is the example to follow here ... you want mass shootings every week? this is like saying well you can put your hand in boiling water after all it's not as hot as the sun lol

But that's typical narrative in Canada in general - 'look at least it's not bad compared to USA'.

it's our only neighbour but we'll always look good if we compare ourself with the worst
