Mexico most dangerous destination for Canadians

I'm not sure what the deaths of surrogate troops in the U.S. "War on Drugs" has to do with Canadian tourists, but isn't the reason there are more Canadians coming to grief in Mexico than in other countries have a lot to do with the simple fact that more Canadians go to Mexico than elsewhere? The stats don't include the United States, which does get more Canadian visitors, though, as pointed out elsewhere, the similiar legal system means the stats aren't collected nationally.

Geeze, I know they have good math teachers in Canada, but maybe their students didn't pay attention.

Qualify that statement and cite your source.

Maybe it has more to do with memory or attention span, but RichTX1 has been told.

I'll be selling the following T-Shirts to Canadians going to Mexico:

Shoot me I'm Canadian
Mug me, I'm Canadian
I don't tip. I'm Canadian
Pedro, he ain't Canadian

OOPS, my bad... Mexico is #3 (after the U.S. and U.K.)... both with similar legal systems, reporting procedures to Canada (source, since you asked: Statistics Canada

the simple answer is blame it on canada. everybody else does. edward

Ed, you and the guys on South Park have it right. Blame Canada! We have broad shoulders and don't mind taking undeserved crap. Gives everybody a way to vent their inferiority driven anger.

Blame it on Canada? Isn't that somewhere in Alaska or something?

A grieving B.C. family is speaking out about the lack of emergency preparedness at an all-inclusive Mexican resort following a deadly accident that turned a recent holiday into a nightmare.

Gordon Zimmermann and his family from Kelowna had been at the five-star Palladium resort just outside Puerto Vallarta for less than a day when tragedy struck earlier this month.

Heinz Zimmermann, 72, went missing and died while swimming in the waters off an upscale Mexican resort earlier this month.
(CBC) Zimmermann's 72-year-old father, Heinz Zimmermann, of Swift Current, Sask., went missing while swimming in the ocean.

After a frantic search, the family asked hotel staff for help, but they were told there was no lifesaving gear, said Zimmerman.

"The assistant manager, the person in charge, informed me there was no ability for them to go out on the water, or any ability to search for someone in the water. No boat. The Jet Ski they had was broken, and had been broken for two years."

I wonder how many north americans in general were targeted. Mexico is a poor country next to the richest country in the world. Americans would be thought of as the richest people in the world and I wonder how many Mexicans can tell the difference between someone from USA and Canada.

Oh . . . it's easy to tell the Canadians from USA'ers - because they're (the Canadians) the ones with the maple leaf tatoo's on their foreheads being chased down the street by angry restaurant wait staff, who've been stiffed.
