A warning for Mexico. As a Canadian, I am becoming increasely concerned by the violent criminality that occurs almost daily in your country. Not only will I personally NEVER visit your country because of it, I now no longer want Mexicans to be able visit my country. And that is very sad. Thirty years ago I admired Mexico for its history and culture.
