    Default What the hell has happened to Edmonton?

    Now I see why they call it Deadmonton.

    http://www.edmontonsun.com/News/Edmo...30179-sun.html

    There was a 17 y/o stabbed by 4 guys as well. Can't find the story.

    Anyways, what the hell? I was born and raised there and it was an OK place to live as a child....until I moved to Calgary. Now, it's just become stupid. Ever since the Mandel got elected and the whole police scandal...it's turned into a REAL shithole....the lowest of the low...not that it already was...but it's bad.

    Edmonton t3h 5ux.

    yeah, cause nobody gets stabbed anywhere else in canada.

    though I do have to admit it's getting kind of stupid. I think we have the highest murder rate per capita in canada or something like that.

    let the trash deal with the trash I say.

    Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

    Yeah, I think Edmonton really got a lot worse in the last year or two. Even Whyte Ave is sketchy late at nights now...

    Its all the influx of people coming to fill jobs and unlike Calgary there mostly labour jobs, too many morons that think there the shit basically.

    I spent the first years of my life living in Mill Woods, although we left when I was 6, it wasn't great, but not NEARLY as shitty as it is now!!! Quite a bit has changed in 18 years.
    Success is the ultimate revenge.

    Yeah Edmonton is sketchy. Mill Woods is a nice area also, it is relatively a newer community. My buddies uncle is a cop, they call it "Mill Hoods".

    I live off Whyte, it probably won't prevent me from going out some weekends but, you have to know that its not the safest place to be.

    On halloween this guy went rambo on a bunch of people's asses while waiting in line for a club. Its getting ridiculous.

    I have heard that it is also has the highest rate of murders per capita in canada as well.

    Calgary's getting all the young professionals while Edmonton is getting all the migrant labourers. Who's more likely to cause trouble, an accountant or a rigger in town from Fort Mac for the weekend?
