However, the Toronto Police work hard to go after people who post online content criticizing cops, public servants, teachers and politicians, especially if you criticize the LGBT movement.
A lot of confrontations in public. It's starting to feel like tension is in the air.
But all is great in the wealthy communities like Bridle Path, Lawrence Park and Royal York.
The millionaires and billionaires are having the time of their lives.
The homeless guy is possibly more good-looking than the Karen lol
Just see how fast Toronto Police respond to a white woman aka Karen complaining that a homeless guy is minding his own business in a public park versus a home owner calling the cops during an armed robbery.
To the uber delivery guy that had his ebike stolen......good cuz there are way too many of you now and you all drive like idiots.....no lights.....running red lights and stop signs......Its like you think you are the only ones on the road.....TO those ppl doing the ordering for delivery......get off your fat A$$ and pry yourself away from your phone for long enough to cook or go get your own food.
Negative sentiments against Muslims, Arabs and Asians are also increasing in Toronto but not to the extent that they are getting violently assaulted like Jewish people who wear identifiable religious gear like the kippa.
Just a few weeks ago, a pale Canadian girl was caught on camera yelling the n-word at a donut shop in downtown Toronto. She tried to fight a girl by calling her the n-word and storming towards her.
Jewish men who wear the kippa get verbally harassed and sometimes have their kippa pulled from their heads.
A middle-aged woman also got caught in a turf war in high income Leslieville recently and died from a stray bullet.
But Toronto has a lot of criminal activity going on such as organized crime, human trafficking, drug dealing and gangs fighting turf wars.
Sure, the Canadians tell us that the crime situation in Toronto is not as bad as southside Chicago or in the hoods of Compton, but do we really need to compare Toronto to low-income areas?
So why pay a million dollars for a home in Toronto to live like a lite version of Compton unless you're buying Kendrick Lamar's house?
95% of the people here are good honest people who are trying to make a living.
Like the comment below me says, the youth of this city are trying to been seen as hard wannabe gangsters. (Not all those, most are good kids)
Getting those who want to commit acts of evil, need to get taken off the streets and get locked away forever will help make this city even safer.
All these kids wanting to get internet famous has led to some awful things.
Far to many guns here. Need more police raids in high crime areas and making sure those who get arrested and put in jail, stay in jail and don’t just get put back into the streets a few months later.
If you dont go looking for trouble youll likely be fine as long as you stay vigilant and away from bad areas. Its safer then some of the bigger us cities but nowhere near as safe the major cities in western europe.
I reported online to the police, but I am reaching out to every page on the internet to report the robbery.
The Inmotion L9 is a kind of brand new scooter, and the thief is going to need to buy a charger that is different from the others charges or try to sell the scooter online.
I can recognize my scooter, and I will keep this ad on till I find it.
So please, do not buy properties without a receipt. Not something like a scooter which was introduced to the market 4 months ago.
Every scooter has its own internal code.
If you download the Inmotion App the code of my scooter is L9-B108001F.
If you see something, please, reach out.
I am going to pay a reward of C$300 for having it back.
I saw many, but many times "homeless people" trying to steal expensive bicycles around downtown Toronto. There are an organized crime behind these crimes. Who is buying? Who is doing the logistics?
Don’t know what happened in the last 3-5 years. Especially worsening in the last 2.
In Downtown:
Pot shops have replaced small business that went bankrupt during Covid.
Homeless population has increased and it’s very public.
People deficate in alleys and around construction sites.
Divisive, crime increased like crazy in the last 2-4 years.
crime has exploded in the outer areas of Toronto like North York.
However, gun crime has been increasing drastically over the past few years, and with increasing immigration rates both foreign and domestic to the city, coupled with a bout of even less opportunities due to Covid and future lingering effects, it will likely only see a rise from here out. My only personal worry though is car thefts and burglaries, seeing as they're common across board in terms of demographics and typically fall in line with the Canadian route of non-violence (speculation lolz).

Don't be ignorant.
London homicide rate=2.3
Toronto=1.5
Toronto is doing much worse than anywhere in western Europe though, and that's straight statistics.
Still, Toronto is decent compared to cities like Baltimore, but much more dangerous than Paris or London.
Toronto Homicide rate 3.5
London is much safer, Jayden
Come back and visit at least twice a year.
Stay at Sheraton downtown. Catch a set at the Rex, then walk to Cameron house catch a set then walk to Grossmans catch a set (drink with every set of course) finish off in Kensington then walk back to Sheraton
along the side streets going east of Spadina and grab a sausage before bed.
Never had a problem (prob would not walk around queen and sherbourne at 3 AM though).
Great city and love the diversity.
401 and 407 is crazy driving the fast lane is essentially like the autobahn!
Last time there a few weeks ago I saw at least 4 incidences of people doing a u turn mid queen street (actaully a 3 point turn cause not enough room) horns horns and middle fingers all around.
Probably happens cause no one ever gets shot in a road rage incident (dont do that in New Orleans).
Just finshed a visit to NAWLINS.
300,000 people and WAY WAY more dangerous then Toronto.
A woman at red light on her bicycle was robbed of it at 9 AM at gunpoint in area generally consdiered "safe"
Just check out the news from NAWLINS this past weekend.
Great food and music though
Blessings
The thing with Alexandre Bissonette is that he's living in the most white major Canadian city which is Quebec city, in which you couldn't even compare with a multicultural city like Toronto. I live in Montreal and there's very few immigrants that would settle outside of that city metropolitan area, so you can imagine the fear white Quebecers had on immigrants which is most likely prone to do things like Alexandre Bissonette did.
But then why are white men like you flocking to the Caribbean to rob the Trinidadian people of their oil?
Hypocrites.
Was Alexander Bissonette a Caribbean or African?
What are white people doing in the islands of the Caribbean like Barbados, Virgin Islands, Cayman, Bermuda and Puerto Rico if Caribbeans are violent?

Certain parts of Toronto are gangster paradises, but the Alt-Right Polish nationalist lives in their own enclaves and treat outsiders with contempt, so the gangs don't go there. The gangs terrorize those in the low-income communities and they don't live in the suburbs, where it's safer.
Even if you hear an area is a little bit sketchy, AVOID IT AT ALL COSTS!
Don't live here if you are concerned for safety, you are bound to have at least 1 violent crime happen to you here in your life, even in the "safe" areas.
