According
to the article there have been other reports of violence towards Canadians on
vacation in Mexico. A month before this incident UBC student Ximena Osequeda was
found dead on a beach in Mexico and Robin wood, a resident of Salt Spring
Island, B.C., was killed during a robbery.
The
Canadian government has issued travel warning for Mexico that can be found on
the Canadian foreign affairs and international trade website.
Well some parts of Mexico are still relatively safe (mostly the extreme south parts), I would have to agree that anyone going should do extensive research prior to traveling. Just last week, another 40 beheaded bodies were found on a roadway in Northern Mexico, bringing the death total to nearly 55,000 in the drug war, 15000 alone in 2010! Personally, unless flying down and staying on a resort, I would never travel there.
