Safety in Canada
It is indicative that a Mountie - Canadian federal officer - is the nation's best known symbol. Canada has low crime rates, strict gun control laws and an effective police force coupled with an active community response to crime. There is concern over rising crime in urban areas although the largest worry is theft of valuables from parked cars. In general crime rates are less in the east coast and more in the territories. There are no particular health risks associated to Canada.
