Anjou march deplored violence

A march was held in Anjou Saturday to protest against a wave of violent incidents in that part of town.

Skimming other news, I noticed a CNN piece on increased homicides in U.S. cities where, of course, it’s mostly guns. But if the U.S. is at grips with this problem, it’s not surprising that the tendency seeps across the border, even during a pandemic.

Note, however, some homicide numbers so far in the U.S. this year: 513 in Philadelphia (population 1.579 million in 2019), 230 in Indianapolis (pop. 864,447) and 88 in Austin, Texas (pop. 950,807), generally regarded as the most civilized town in that state.
