It's dropped like a stone since 2000:

Or rather, looks like there was a peak there for a few years, dunno what a wider selection of years will say about which is the anomaly and which is the norm.

Here's one of the US too:

If you use the comparison chart on that website, their actual homicide rate isn't that much better than that of Canada, and in the last ten years, it's been higher than Canada's rate several times. I don't know why we're focusing strictly on a particular type of homicide.

It only looks really good when you compare it to the US.
