Vancouver gun murder rate worse than Los Angeles

Canada vs. U.S. gun violence, and the scams they pull to make Canada look better: delusional math—how they try to fool the masses in Canada.
From a Vancouver, BC news site. I'm hoping either it's a typo, some kind of funky metric math or I am in Friday brain mode and missed something.
Apparently, Los Angeles (metro population of 17.75 million), with 54 gun-related homicides "easily dwarfs" the Vancouver area (2.37 million) murder rate with 12 gun-related homicides.
L.A. gun murder rate = 54 ÷ 17,750,000 = 0.000003
Vancover murder rate = 12 ÷ 2,370,000 = 0.000005
<Hmmm, carry the 1, face left, bow to the Brady statue, and perform a self-lobotomy….>
Vancouver rate ÷ LA rate = 1.66. Vancouver, BC's gun related murder rate is 1.6 times that of Los Angeles. Abbotsford, the small town (now ~159,000) I grew up in, has had 4 or 5.4/159,000 = 0.000025 = 8.27 times that of L.A.
