What's wrong with Canada?
I just knew a cousin of mine was rushed to Hargiesa because a gang wants him 6 feet under
He was from Calgary, I thought it's the safest place in N/America
Bro, things really started to get bad around the time of the oil boom in Alberta during the late 2000's. Thousands of young Somali men from Ottawa and Toronto flocked to Alberta in order work in the oil fields. These jobs typically require little education and very high salaries.
So now you have 20 year old Somali guys making around 7000 dollars every month while working in the oil fields, and often the easy availability of drugs as well as the lack of social structure leads many Somali men to die as a result of random violence. Most of these young men leave their families behind in Ontario while they're working alone in Alberta, so there is a huge lack of family guidance. And many of these Somali men who are unable to find honest work find themselves selling drugs to Alibistains and cadaan rednecks. This leads to further violence amongst drug dealers. The "gangster thug culture" espoused by young Somalis isn't making things any better either. It just compounds the problem. It makes things much worse.
Even in Toronto, where jobs are scarce.....you will find Somali men "beefing" with each other because they originate from a different neighborhood. So Dixon is "beefing" Ardwick. Ardwick is "beefing" Regent Park. And West Mall is "beefing" Dixon. It's one giant circle of different "blocks" beefing each other and they often try and kill each other due to their rivalries. Somalis from different parts of Toronto actually want to kill each other due to their "beefing". There are drive-by shootings where Somalis from Ardwick drive to Dixon and they try to kill the first Somali guy they see.
Alhamdulilah these Somalis can't shoot straight though. I've had friends who were targeted in these shootings but the gunmen almost always miss their targets. Typically a Somali guy gets shot in the leg or the arm. I have a couple of cousins who were shot in the leg but they're totally fine now.
