Crime in Mississauga, Canada

Clarkson is getting pretty bad a lot of strange people live in those apartments on Truscott, Southdown and Bromsgrove I always see police cars and a ambulance always headed to those directions recently.

I lived in Mississauga for 38 years, was a great place to live. I have recently moved because of the crime rate. This is what happens when you let the wrong type of people into this country. I blame the Liberal government for this, and the laws that are not harsh enough. Jane and Finch is a perfect example, unfortunately Mississauga is turning that way fast.

I’m so disappointed in Mississauga, crime exploded especially around square1 and all across eglington area. Bristol rd going down too- people breaking into everything!!
So so upset at the leaders of our country for allowing polices and practises beyond our control, they have deeply affected cities and are slowing chocking them off. Bad bad governments. A great City, but governments over Canada fail. Other large cities Toronto, Scarborough, North York, Etobicoke, Hamilton, Brampton , Ottawa, suffering at the hands of our foolish government, cities of good people who are suffering!!! These Liberal leaders should all be thrown out of power. !! !!!!!!

Calm down. You guys might live in a bad neighborhood but Meadowvale is safe

Time to move. I don't feel like I live in Canada any more. Sad.

I also live around Cooksville and it is just like India but in Canada. The only good area in Cooksville is the neighbourhood close to the hospital because of the families that live there and there is a lot of Polish families there and many old people. Many Polish families are moving like my neighbour because of the crime and more immigrants but it is still bad compared to other areas in Mississauga. Mississauga is now not safe like it used to be.

Mississauga is the WORST. Very Very liberal City , all things degenerate welcomed here.

Mississauga has nearly no white people left. The few that remain come to this page and can be seen ranting about high crime. Mississauga is a large city and crime rates are in proportion to other large cities. There are poverty-stricken pockets like Applewood and Cooksville. But even those are safe in daytimes. Mississauga has a lot of people of Carribean, Pakistani, Arab, Filipino, Black, and Asian (Chinese, etc.) descent. Absolute majority of these people from all communities are hard-working and tax-paying. House prices have climbed steadily and real-estate still shows a healthy demand. The mayor is a liberal party member that welcomes immigrants and that makes some ranters on this page frustrated.

I moved from Mississauga to markham its so much nicer safer and quite here

There's been such a noticeable decline even in the past 6 months that it's the very reason i stumbled upon this page so I could research if I'm the only one aware of this. Hearing multiple sirens pretty much every day now. Makes me wonder if I'm in suburban Mississauga or am I actually in the projects of Compton.

Geez Louise.

I have to wonder, seeing these comments, how much YOU have done in your community to make it better? Or do you expect these things to happen on their own? You have a responsibility to keep your community safe, clean, and friendly. I see a lot of blame going around. How about some suggestions?

I have to say that in the last 17 years of living in mississauga, I am now disgusted to for nice nature walks in parks such as: Lakeshore, erindale park, saddington,etc... anywhere and everywhere, there are brown people with 50 of their family members, making a huge mess. It's DISGUSTING! These people have zero culture. You can't even enjoy a nice walk along lakeshore because these people are everywhere. Why can't they just BBQ their food at home??? Why can't they clean after themselves. It's so selfish!! It's so gross!! Go rent a hall if you want to party. I don't want to see hundreds of brown people cooking their food that take over the whole nature. I can't enjoy a stroll without closing my nose. When I see these people doing this, all I want to do is go up to them and tell them to get out. I don't want to see this garbage happening around mississauga. Something has to be done about this.

If you’re looking for a safe, comfortable, happy and beautiful place to live, stay as far away from Mississauga as possible :)

A large portion of Mississauga has plummeted downhill.

I would now say Mississauga has more crime then Brampton or Etobicoke.

The fucking apartments in applewood and cooksville are shit and there is alot of drugs deals in these areas

#Johnny,
Are you an aboriginal or part of the first nations? If so then I respect your decision. But if you are white, you to are part of an immigrant family. Heard of history class?

Stop exaggerating, people. Mississauga is not that bad.

I do agree that crime is getting worse. Lot of increase in shootings and violence over the past couple of years. There also seems to be a large increase in prostitution around the SQ1 area. Plenty of stuff going on in those shiny new condos. Fortunately, it seems like most crime is organized in nature instead of just being spur-of-the-moment like it is in other large cities. In most shootings and violence, the victim seems to be targeted and aren't just random.

I'm not anti-immigrant in any form whatsoever, but every now and then, people do bring their problems from home with them and it really shows. Some project housing neighbourhoods can be a nightmare. Mississauga really needs to work on social programs and growing jobs in the worse areas. The way this city is growing, it can't be an immigrant suburb forever. You can't have a city of almost a million people with little to no economic production in the downtown core, because people will find it harder to find work if they aren't as wealthy, and will turn to crime.

Mississauga is nowhere near the crime hell that people are describing, but it definitely needs improvement in all areas.
