Yup, similar to how one small "city" near me had their stats skewed to look worse than Winnipeg for awhile (the murder capitol of Canada and my hometown) because of one single murder.

I’m going to still not fuck with them, if that’s cool.

That's fine, they need fewer people fucking with them.

It's cool a lot of the time up there, but less so now with global warming.

I'm guessing it wasn't a single murder in each territory. A lot of communities up there are poor, traumatised and isolated, which makes people shootier.

With those numbers, no it's not a single murder, but the territories have in the neighbourhood of 45k people each.

Yep, they're good and empty. Nunavut is actually a bit smaller yet.

~~But Prince Edward Island is the lowest and it has a relatively tiny population~~.

Edit: nvm, I assumed wrong

Mistaking land mass for population.

PEI has about as many people as do all 3 territories combined. (Quick search, older stats).

PEI resident here. As of last year, we've got ~180k people living here.
