Violent New Front in Drug War Opens on the Canadian Border...or not--

"In British Columbia, a once-quiet province in a country that has long enjoyed a low crime rate, the murder rate has soared in the past two years, Canadian officials say, because of killings linked to warring drug gangs."

"Correction: March 10, 2005, Thursday:

A front-page article on Saturday about violence related to marijuana trafficking from the Canadian province of British Columbia misstated the murder rate there. Although the police say drug-related violence has risen greatly in the last two years, the overall murder rate has remained stable; it has not soared."

Never mind!
