A CRIME wave on the coast of Canada has forced a nearby Walmart to close due to fears over staff and shopper safety.
The store in the city of Prince Rupert in British Columbia is a lifeline for countless families, and its closure comes as a huge loss for the community, Walmart says.
With a population of roughly 12,000 people, Prince Rupert has become a place ridden with criminal activity, including shoplifting and vandalism.
Data shows that Prince Rupert's crime index is more than twice as high compared to the average of other provinces.
The problem has gotten so bad that Walmart has made the decision to close its doors to protect its staff.
Walmart said in a statement that this decision was a last resort.
It said: "We know how much the community valued this store and while this is not the outcome we hoped for, this decision was only made after a full review of options."
The store shut down temporarily earlier this year for the same reasons.
The data further reveals that Prince Rupert's crime rate is three-and-a-half times higher than the average province in Canada.
Recent data from 2020 shows that the area saw 14,977 crimes per 100,000 people.
This is compared to 6,040 for British Columbia, and 4,233 for Canada as a whole.
WHAT THE NUMBERS SHOW
When taking a closer look year-on-year, Prince Rupert has made improvements in its crime statistics.
Using the Crime Severity Index (CSI), in 2024, Price Rupert saw a CSI decrease of 20% from the previous year, which went from 216.74 to 172.93.
Prince Rupert has also seen improvements in the Violent Crime Severity Index (VCSI).
From 2023 to 2024, Prince Rupert saw a VCSI decrease of 23% from 341.09 to 260.42.
This decrease took the province from ninth in the country's VCSI rankings to fourteenth.
CAUSE FOR CONCERN
But experts have warned residents that these numbers are highly concerning when taken from a wider perspective.
Criminology expert Neil Boyd told The Northern View that Prince Rupert's 10-year average justifies concern.
He said: "The important thing is for people, when they look at these crime stats, to look at it over a 10-year time frame."
Using a decade-long average, Prince Rupert has a CSI of 169.27 compared to the provincial 10-year average of 95.5.
And even in the period between 2023 and 2024 in which Prince Rupert improved in some measures, it worsened in others.
Notably, Prince Rupert's non-violent crime severity index jumped from 67.52 in 2023 to 93.11 in 2024.
This is an increase of 37%, and points to some of the illegal behavior like shoplifting and vandalism that Walmart would be worried about.
Prince Rupert's non-violent crime average of 93.11 last year brought it roughly in line with the average for all Canadian provinces, however, which was 93.3.
They're still talking about Canada post handling part of the buyback program, if they don't go tits up by then. If they have courier companies transporting the guns, all that means is delivery vans will become targets of people looking for some free-score hardware.This gun control thing is going to be a shit show. Knowing Canada a boring shit show but a shit show none the less.
We can start the Kool Kiwis Klub when we're in the gulags at least!Was nice posting with you guys![]()
CHEAP FOREIGN LABOUR IS GOOD SAAAAAAAAAAR. I CARE ABOUT WORKERS SAAAAAAAAR. LOOK AT MY MASERATI SAAAAAAR. Fuck you Singh. Fucking rich faggot!
One of the Vancouver Park Board commissioners who voted to approve an upcoming Harry Potter attraction in Stanley Park now wants the city to issue an apology to the transgender, gender diverse and Two Spirit community.
Commissioner Tom Digby said he was unaware of the controversy surrounding J.K. Rowling — author of the seven Harry Potter novels and several spinoff books — when the board voted to host the event this holiday season.
“I was shocked because the views of the author are completely inconsistent with how the Vancouver Park Board treats transgender, gender diverse and Two Spirit individuals,” Digby said.
Digby said he’s heard the community’s concerns, and is introducing a motion next week calling on the board to reaffirm its support for inclusionary spaces, as set out in the city’s 2016 Transgender, Gender Diverse and Two Spirit (TGD2S) Action Plan.
The motion does not seek to cancel the Harry Potter: A Forbidden Forest Experience event, which is scheduled to begin on Nov. 7, but directs staff to ensure it “runs for one season only.”
Digby said in early discussions with fellow commissioners, he hasn’t heard much support for a full cancellation of the event, which the city expects will bring in hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue.
Digby said an official apology to the TGD2S community would be appropriate to address “the pain that this approval is causing,” particularly as members face the withdrawal of legal protections and access to health care in other jurisdictions.
“They’re fighting, constantly, these battles,” Digby said. “And now their own beloved park board is stepping in and hosting this Harry Potter event.“
Canadians, even the more progressive Canadians, are always, for some odd reason racist (and outwardly racist, mind!) to this one group... Unfortunately, this reason is a mystery....Why would people be racist on a post about a Brampton Tim Hortons being fithy?
It would stink of curry.Singh is extremely rich so gimme all your money rich boy, then you can larp as a communist or whatever this nonsense is
The sad part is because of constant lib troon screeching a large portion of the population genuinely believes a billionaire does more harm and less good to a country then a bunch of worthless, stinky indians that slowly erode the entire country (from destroying hiring prospects and quality of businesses, to importing gang and drug and societal problems, to destroying communities and national identity, wrecking housing markets, shitting on beaches and destroying parks, etc.). They're so beyond cucked it's crazy.
Only the right minorities have rights. Whites are a minority and we don't have rights.In Canada, only minorities have rights, and the smaller the minority, the more rights they have.
Immigration is being used by the (((billionaires))) to undermine the native workforce to their own benefit.The sad part is because of constant lib troon screeching a large portion of the population genuinely believes a billionaire does more harm and less good to a country then a bunch of worthless, stinky indians that slowly erode the entire country (from destroying hiring prospects and quality of businesses, to importing gang and drug and societal problems, to destroying communities and national identity, wrecking housing markets, shitting on beaches and destroying parks, etc.).

They sincerely think all these rich d00dz do is "hoard money and steal from us". Even Shitmeets comment here....Indians dodge taxes, steal wages, and cause inflation for your family. While contributing N O T H I N G.
I've told this story here before, but when I was a teenager I worked at a pizza pizza where the jeet manager literally collected tribute from other jeet employees for the privilege to work there, or else he would fire them causing a mess for their visa. Mind you these people where literally making less or the same as me at the time, and would compute all the way from brampton or oshwa on a daily basis. Then again I suppose life is cheaper when you live in a room with 10 other jeets.Minimum wage still keeps going up and we are still applauded by the world for having such high minimum wages. No one mentions that our employment rate is over 7% and growing rapidly. What's the point of having such high minimum wages when fewer and fewer people can find jobs at all. And at this rate, I think we really need to consider this small fact; can we really blame the employers for not wanting to pay these, quite frankly, absolutely absurd minimum wages?
Think about it. You are a McDonalds manager. You have the choice to higher a jeet the same rate someone would pay a typical American for a fast food job. He can't quit as his residency relies on his employment, and you can under pay him easily since you can just get him deported and replaced in a manner of seconds. Or you can pay a real genuine Canadian teenager a whopping 18 dollars an hour to flip hamburgers who will leave once the summer is over where you will have to retrain a new employee all over again.
This wage business is not making things any easier for employers than it is for us. I'm still furious at everyone involved, but when you think in terms of business, they really don't have that much of a choice at this point. Canada is bleeding money and everyone is forced to do what they can to survive. Storeowners literally cannot profit with these insane minimum wages and they have to resort to jeets so that they can make any money at all. We're all victims here.
You mean the Cricket Club?By comparison, Rideau Hall is an unremarkable landmark and most Canadians don't even know who John Graves Simcoe was, general of the War of 1812 and the founding father of Ontario, and most Canadians don't even know where he is buried, he's buried in a chapel in Devon, England that is owned and paid for by Canadian taxes, but Canadians don't even know it exists.
You're a bit late. It's been under renovation for at least 5 years now.fed6461419dc188f554e6f2b3056a718.mp4
Looms like Parliament Hill is under construction. Canada is on the verge of bankruptcy and they are redecorating
It's not about "blaming" the employer. Employers are always trying to make the most $$$ possible. The whole reason employers prefer roaches is because they can abuse them, use them, pay them less, get more tax breaks, treat them like slaves, etc.. The government doesn't want to stop any of this because the government has invested in many of the businesses and enterprises that turn so much profit by abusing immigrants and funneling them en masse into the country.can we really blame the employers for not wanting to pay these, quite frankly, absolutely absurd minimum wages?
It hasn't really changed at all though when you factor in COL and inflation. So, for Ontario: the minimum wage in 2015 was $11.25/h, and the minimum wage in 2025 is $17.60/h. On the surface, this looks like a jump of more than 5 dollars, but $11.25 in 2015 would be worth $15 in 2025. So really, in 10 years, we've seen a real increase of about $2. Everything has become more expensive too, so that $17.60 will actually have less purchasing power than the $11.25 did in 2015. The purchasing power of minimum wage actually continuously decreases, it doesn't increase in meaningful ways.Minimum wage still keeps going up and we are still applauded by the world for having such high minimum wages.
I've gotta wonder how bad real inflation is in Canada if jeets making shit wages is subsidizing the service sector. It's definitely dragging up the cost of housing, so maybe it's not quite as bad as it looks on the outside. Wages in Canada for educated labor are certainly stuck and, much like Europe, aren't keeping pace with the US.You're a bit late. It's been under reconstruction for at least 5 years now.
