Not fishing hurt my casting and reeling hand yesterday!

"In a recent release from Statistics Canada on crime statistics for 2007, Greater Sudbury saw a 9.3 per cent decrease from the previous year, essentially making it the fifth safest metropolitan area (100,000 to less than 500,000 population) in Canada."

kind of a misleading statistic, if it was more specific to Sudbury and not the larger area as well it may be ranked differently. Much like how Durham Region manages to sweep Oshawa under the rug.

Well the girls are out to bingo and the boys are gettin stinko

We think no more of Inco on a Sudbury Saturday Night

The glasses they will tinkle while our eyes begin to twinkle

And we think no more of Inco on a Sudbury Saturday Night

 

With Irish Jim O'Connell there & Scotty Jock McDonald

There's hunky Frederic Herzal gettin tight but 'dats alright

There's happy German Fritzie there with Frenchie gettin tipsy-

And even Joe the gypsy knows its Saturday tonite

 

Ya well Marianne and Mabel come to join us at the table,

And tell us how the bingo went, tonite we'll lookout right

That if they won the money we'll be laughin up the honey boys

Cause everthing is funny for its Saturday tonite..

 

Well the girls are out to bingo and the boys are gettin stinko

We think no more of Inco on a Sudbury Saturday Night

The glasses they will tinkle while our eyes begin to twinkle

And we think no more of Inco on a Sudbury Saturday Night

 

We'll drink the loot we borrowed and recuperate tomorrow

Cause everything is wonderful tonite we had a good fight

We ate the deli pickle and we forgot about the nickel

And everybody's tickled for its Saturday tonite...

 

The songs that we'll be singin They might be wrong but they'll be ringin'

And now the lights of town are shinin bright and we're all tight

We'll get to work on Monday but tomorrow's only Sunday

And we're out to have a fun day for its Saturday tonite

 

Well the girls are out to bingo aAnd the boys are gettin stinko

We think no more of Inco on a Sudbury Saturday Night

The glasses they will tinkle while our eyes begin to twinkle

And we think no more of Inco on a Sudbury Saturday Night

When I lived down south I learned that Sudbury had a reputation as a "rough town"...full of bikers and thugs...people seem to think violent crime is an ever present and unavoidable fact of life up here.

Unless you go looking for trouble...picking fights in bars, dealing or buying dope, those kind of things...you'll be fine. I leave my car unlocked at night and I wouldn't worry about my wife being unescorted most places and times.

The one big difference is down south when someone says something like "Back off or I'll punch you in the face."...they are most likely just mouthing off. If you hear that up north and you don't take it seriously, there's a decent chance you're about to be punched in the face. That goes back to what I was saying about not going looking for trouble.
