Thieves Raiding Farms

[SASKFARMER3]

I just paid our insurance for the farm and wow it's expensive. I asked if the yards cameras gave me any kind of discount since they can identify the vehicle, the people in the yard and the plates.

They checked and No yard cameras for a discount but contents of homes and inside shop yes a small discount.

So you protect with motion sensors everything and the insurance industry doesn't care.

Trudeau and his hug a thug has destroyed the last help for Canadians. The NDP is no better.

Criminals have more rights in Canada than citizens of Canada.

Sad really.

Oh well, thank a Liberal they are the ones who are responsible.

It’s so sad our country has evolved into this.

I vote conservative and used to be liberal a long long time ago but today I don’t think any of them are much better than the other. Come election time they all promise the world free everything and that’s what buys votes. This shit can’t continue or we are going to be like Venezuela or Cuba only difference it won’t be to rosy up here with 7 months of winter. It should be illegal to run a deficit bugjet if uneducated rural hicks can run a rm or county without a deficit our highly educated city cousins should also be able to.

We know you're embarrassed to have been a Liberal voter but continually blaming them for everything doesn't detract from your embarrassment it merely reminds us of it on a daily basis.
Oh, and by the way crime rates are falling in Canada - overall crime rates are something like 30% down and property crimes @40% down since the early 2000s.
That's good news - maybe you should thank a Liberal instead!

Crime rates have been rising in Canada since 2014. Hope it's not a trend

[rumrocks]

Grassy,you may be right about reported crime, however unreported rural crime numbers may be the same, decreasing or rising, we all know of people who just don't bother to report fuel theft and small acts of vandalism because of disappointing past results.

Well grass , I agree with several things with you ..... but politics and crime are completely out the fukin window !
I invite you to come stay here for 1 month.... you will leave a very fukin changed man ..... as will many other when face to face with reality ... chuck ! ..., on a daily basis with the b/S we put with.
I will bet the farm on it .
You will have a vastly different attitude.
It’s like the Hollywood celebrities living in ultra safe compounds.... they have no fukin clue .
Some of you have had the extremely fortunate situation of living in low crime areas , and thus think you are all high and mighty on crime .... come live around here ,your attitude will change extremely quickly regardless of your political views.

I think that's a fairly safe bet - you covered all the options!


Furrow, I'm sorry you live in an area where you are affected by rural crime. I don't doubt what you relate is true. All I said is that on a national basis crime figures are substantially lower than they were 20 years ago. I was challenging SF3s ridiculous claim that it's all because of the Liberals.

[furrowtickler]

Have any one of you.. (forage , chuck, grasss ) that doubt rural crime at all ... had a 12 year old daughter at home after school while you and your wife are are trying to earn a living working , teaching , nursing , hauling grain ... whatever , had that house door kicked in by a low life POS ?????
And then get that call ???
Let me know when that happens to you ..
Then we can have a meaningful conversation about property rights .
Until then , you have no fukin clue .
Criminals are criminals. And when they effect your family directly, it is a total different perspective.
I detest people who judge those of us that go through this yearly that have absolutely no fukin clue on the adversity it causes at home .
It covers almost every farm in the area now BTW you ignorant fuks .

Has a lot more to do with demographics and the economic situation.

As correctly noted here, rural crime is much more prevalent than urban, and getting worse since 2014:

From the article:

Across Canada, rural areas tend to have higher crime rates (violations per 100,000 population) than urban areas, and Alberta is no exception.

Rural crime is particularly prevalent across the three Prairie provinces, according to the data.

"In 2017, relatively high rural crime rates were reported in Manitoba (42% higher than the province's urban crime rate), Alberta (38% higher) and Saskatchewan (36% higher)," Statistics Canada said in a release.

"Almost half of crime in Canada's rural areas occurred in these three provinces, which accounted for about a quarter of Canada's population served by rural police services."

Alberta was different from the other Prairie provinces in one way, however.

"In Manitoba and Saskatchewan, the high rates of rural crime were the results of higher rates of all types of crime (violent, property and other crime)," Statistics Canada said.

"In Alberta, however, the difference was largely due to high rates of property crime."
