You have completely and utterly missed the point. There are murders. There are lots of murders. There are rapes, there are lots of rapes. There are robberies, there are lots of robberies.
If we as a nation don't want a reputation of being an unsafe place to travel, maybe we should be trying to make it a safe place?
Shouting from the rooftops that everything is fine, nothing to see here, isn't going to work, and hasn't worked for the past few decades.
A marketing campaign? Seriously? This is how they want to fix the crime problem? Sweep it under the rug and pretend like it isn't happening? Isn't that how we got in this mess in the first place?
Decades of piss poor governance and the chickens are finally coming home to roost. Absolutely no one can make the claim that they didn't see this coming. They sat around (on airplanes, in hotel rooms, and in the backseats of luxury cars) for years and years, doing nothing more than providing short quotes to the news outlets about how they plan to tackle crime (and education, and corruption, and red tape), but instead continued their hedonistic lifestyles sucking on the public teat. Now suddenly the golden goose has collapsed, a tired, featherless barely breathing sad shell of it's former shelf, and they're left to wonder if maybe they should have eaten less caviar, or shown up for work more than once a month.
Do these people think before they speak? 'A 91% deficit isn't anything to worry about.' 'Being randomly arrested and locked up for a few days isn't anything to worry about.'
Do they have any idea how silly they look? The headline right next to this article points out that murder rates are up 150% over last year, while here we see that the Attorney General is busy prancing down Bay Street in a powdered wig. Is this a Monty Python skit, or a nation?
How about we just admit that religion and these "churches" are all a farce, used to control people and accumulate wealth. Makes it much easier to deal with situations like this.

How about you do your job as a government and enforce law and order? Is censorship really the best way to deal with societal problems?
