With my dataset I cannot definitively answer why the Northwest Territories has the highest rate of homicides per 100,000 population in Canada. To answer that I would need a dataset that provides context of the socio-economic status of the provinces and territories. For example, data including income, affordability of living, poverty levels, education, consumption of illegal substances and access to basic resources such as counselling, hospitals, rehabilitation and support programs and crime prevention initiatives, would all serve to better the understanding of the high rates of homicide in the NWT. Statistics Canada, as well as, Northwest Territories Bureau of Statistics are possible options to locate these types of datasets. If I am unable to locate the data needed, I could submit an FOI request with the Northwest Territories Bureau of Statistics.

Your dataset is clear and the chart makes it even more so. Good luck on the rest of your project, it will be interesting to find out how you learn more information on your intended subject.
Nice chart, it clearly shows which province has highest homicide rate in Canada. I think you have a wonderful question, and find the data of income, eduction, etc. can help you to answer your question.
Your data set is clear and concise, Savis! I'm surprised that NWT would have the highest homicide rates in Canada. It's good that you will take into consideration the socioeconomic status of NWT and draw up a correlation between the two. Good luck with the rest of the project!
