What's interesting here is how you're much less likely to get snuffed as you slide further south and east. Now, I don't want to be sloppy or unscientific, but the least likely place in the land to be murdered may be Tignish, Prince Edward Island (which doesn't preclude having your lights punched out in a fight at Karaoke night at the local Legion, but statistically... you're probably gonna live).
