Because they arent truly all suicide attempts, there are cries for help or sadly attention in very high numbers.

Apparently slitting the wrists is generally bullshit. Jumping from a trestle over the railway when the train is approaching works better. :)

Effect of firearms legislation on suicide and homicide in Canada from 1981 to 2016



Conclusions

The finding of an association between unemployment, low income rates, the rates of aboriginal population, and provinces with a higher rate of suicide underscores and suggests areas for directed public health and harm reduction programs. No overall mortality reduction, but a shift from suicide by firearm in females and males age 45 and older to hanging, associated with current gun control programs, was found. This suggests that gun control methods to reduce suicide by firearms may have benefits but further actions to reduce suicide by controlling for other methods and suicide prevention programs could lower suicide rates in Canada. No associated reductions in homicide with increasing firearms regulations suggests alternative approaches are necessary to reduce homicide by firearm.
Real action towards reducing the number of firearm deaths is necessary and calls to reduce firearms prevalence in the country have once again become a social and political issue [30,31]. Multifaceted strategies to reduce mortality associated with firearms may be required. Steps to reduce youth gang membership and violence through diversion and educational programs have shown promising results [32]. As well community based suicide prevention programs such as training of family physicians in the detection and treatment of depression and discussions about firearms, campaigns aimed at increasing awareness about depression, and follow-up of individuals who attempted suicide may result in lives saved [33]. Outreach to groups for which access to care may be a particular issue, such as Aboriginals, is of primary concern [34].

Thanks. We need more discussions like this. Most canadians don't know and don't care so a littlr education can go a long ways.

It's pretty hilarious that nobody is talking about the shooting inside the CHOP in Seattle.

Even with all the rightwing huffery about defunding the police being such a leftie scheme they can't really start in on the shooting because Americans shooting each other is the thing they hold in the highest of regard.

The what aboutism becomes a rubic's cube far too complex for the climate change denial crowd to unravel.

Probably because Trump is an unusual President while Trudeau is an ordinary Prime Minister.

What disaster have we had in Canada since the last election? I haven't noticed the sky falling lately.
