Yeah, I don't know. Canada isn't as polite and nice as Americans tend to think it is, but there could be many reasons for lower crime rates. Population size could be a factor, for one. In regard to young black men, given the typical usage of "class" in political contexts is referring to young black men as "the class of people who go to jail" constructive to his advocacy of the issue? If he's talking about the poor in general, why not address issues that tend to lead people to drinking to begin with? It seems easier than taking on alcohol lobbyists.
