The US has invaded Pakistan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Iran? I hadn't heard.

OTTAWA (CP) -- The rate of deaths from guns in Canada fell to an all-time low last year, providing fresh ammunition for gun-control advocates and drawing envy from south of the border.

The 26 per cent of homicides committed with a firearm was the lowest proportion since statistics were first collected in 1961, Statistics Canada reported Wednesday.

Stabbing was the most common method of killing, accounting for 31 per cent of homicides. Beatings resulted in 21 per cent of deaths, while strangulation or suffocation came in at 11 per cent.

The overall homicide rate actually increased slightly, but it was pushed up by the 15 deaths of missing women that occurred in previous years in Port Coquitlam, B.C., that were reported by police in 2002.

Okay, let's see. You have less people beind murdered with guns, but more people being murdered overall. This is a sign of progress how?

What are the immigration rates and population densities in Canada and the US?

Canada's net migration rate: 5.96 migrant(s)/1,000 population (2004 est.)
United State's net migration rate: 3.41 migrant(s)/1,000 population (2004 est.)

Canada's Pop. Density: 3.57 People / sq km*
United State's Pop. Density: 31.98 People / sq km*

*I'm not sure how it's technically measured, but I did pop / land area, not total area..cause it makes more sense to me that way.

Four members of a family have been arrested and charged with murder for allegedly killing and eating a relative during a wedding reception -- and serving his flesh to unwitting party guests, police have said.
