    People born a long time ago were more likely to be criminals? That's interesting, how does that work?

    Failing to understand crime stats? No problem. Taking things out of context? Also not a problem. So to make things simple for you here's a longer answer.

    Yes, and yes.

    First there were more youth 50 years ago then today, also when criminals are younger they commit more criminal acts. As criminals get older they mellow out and/or stop committing crimes, unless it's generational(see Chicago school of criminology). Jump ahead to todays youth(in the 12-18 and 19-25 ranges) and you'll see a progressively lower crime rate, but a higher violent crime rate.

    So yes, more people = more crime. Difficult right?

    You have to pay taxes on overseas income if you are canadian resident, and you have to specially disclose if you have foreign assets over 100k or some number around there.

    Yep sounds about right, you do have to disclose your investments though. I made around $80k in foreign investments in the last 9mo and had to disclose it, but it wasn't taxed. What was taxed was the primary part of the investment past the initial investment.

    Rest of your post spot on though.

    I don't claim to be a sociologist, but isn't a reasonable explanation that crime stats have been falling because the police get more people, equipment, and tougher laws?

    Actually it's because criminals are getting older, and not committing as many crimes or have simply stopped. That's how it's reflected in our crime data in Canada. Though our violent crime rate is going up, and so is petty crime.

    I tell friends the same, but they don't listen. They don't seem to care that Google is monitoring their travels across the web and building a profile on them.

    Or it could be because people looking for Chromium give up after they can't find it on the first page of their site. And the first link points right back to Chrome.

    I do not think people in the west understand economies of developing countries.

    Canada was a developing country 200 years ago, back when this stuff was shiny and new or not even developed, and changing so fast your eyes would pop. Usually in under 30 year time spans, the entire country was hooked into it, or it was easily available.

    What it requires is vision and the desire to deploy it. As for India being massive? Meh, tiny when compared to Canada or Russia. What India has is population, meaning an easy and available workforce. Something is fundamentally broken within the state.
