Every row is indexed to the last count complete before the first day in office ("from" marks a start that had to move because that count had no data, or because the period cut it); Canada is measured over the same months. Levels are per cent changes, rates are differences in per 100k; "per year" compounds levels and divides rates. Tenures with under 12 months, or under three observations, are left out. per 100,000 residents · Statistics Canada, police-reported crime (table 35-10-0177), violent Criminal Code violations per 100,000 residents, calendar years · province or territory data · as of Sep 2026.
