Summary:
MS-13 members have been identified living in Vancouver, Montreal, Toronto, Edomonton, and Calgary. Canadian authorities anticipate an increase in violence as MS-13 members clash with more established gangs. Russ Wardrop, a Vancouver detective, cited events in Seattle as a way of predicting future trends in criminal activity in his own jurisdiction. Wardrop noted that, "when they (MS-13) started showing up in Seattle in the mid-1990s, they were very low profile. Now, with MS-13 in Seattle, they've had murders, shootings, and bank robberies. Every place they have arrived, there is an increase in violence and crime and I don't see any reason Vancouver would be different."

Analysis:
MS-13 is continuing to spread. MS-13 spreads along with the Hispanic communities, which it preys upon, and immerses itself in. An interesting fact about Canada is that about 75% of it's people live within 90 miles of the US border, which is the longest undefended border in the world.
