This table describes the spousal homicides in Canada, broken down by method and gender, and should be kept as up-to-date as possible, with the following caveat: Because this table may be used to keep stats uniformly up-to-date across multiple pages, it should NOT be updated in ANY way unless verifiable sources can be cited. The last thing we need is for gun grabbers to point to some erroneous data in an effort to make it look as though we're lying as much as they are.
When in doubt, first place suggestions in this table's talk page BEFORE making any modifications.
It is also worth noting that, while StatsCan does track spousal homicides by firearm, there is no data collected to determine the type of firearm used.

[edit] Usage
The information on female victims provided in this table has also been graphed in File:Canadian Domestic Homicide Data 1995-2007b.jpg (thumbnail shown at right).
[edit] Conclusions
Simple examination of the data provided in the table shows that:
- 38% of female victims (228) are killed "by hand" (for want of a better term); i.e., strangulation or beating.
- The leading instruments of death for female victims of domestic homicide are 1) the wife-beater's hands, 38%; and 2) bladed instruments, 30%.
- Since 68% are killed by manual means, long guns therefore CAN NOT be, as is so often claimed by Canadian gun grabbers, responsible for "the deaths of 88% of all women killed in domestic violence." Statistics Canada does not even collect data to break down these numbers by firearm type.
[edit] Data sources
