You're right! It's very safe!!
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.
Safe injection sites have created enclaves of druggies using in the open. And police are powerless to stop them. Again it's seen as discrimination to police people on a morality level. Where it used to be frowned upon and discouraged to engage in anti social behaviour it's now accepted and encouraged. Someone else brought up the change in our immigration policies in the 70's and yes this was a huge contributer to there issues. We no longer seek out Europeans to move here we encourage poor, poorly educated and offten violent people from caribian nations and Africa to move here. They create ghettos, go in welfare, join gangs and shoot people.

Housing inequality is bringing out the worst in rich, poor, and the losing middle. Muggings are common, I just saw one today. Filthy rich landlords do illegal stuff regularly, one colleague from work just walked in the middle of the night in his basement's tenants place to start putting up a wall so he can stuff more people (already 6 living there). They did not complain because they are there illegally.
Drug addicts inject themselves right by queen subway station, eaton center, 4pm today.
People with known mental illness are thrown in the streets, to either freeze, or commit crimes which they cannot be jailed for, since they have mental illness.
Awful city, had I known, I Would have never stayed so long.
I’m almost 30 and I’ve been to more funerals than weddings.
I’m annoyed living here more than I am scared but I am scared for my children. I would never recommend raising a family here.
Biggest problems
1) Panhandling. - Within the past 3 years the amount of people approaching you asking for money has become ridiculous. These people aren’t even homeless. They moved all the people from Regent Park to Morningside and Lawrence. These people literally try and open your car door and spit on your windshield.
2) Druggies and Mental Illness- People shoot up in the plaza and the stairwells. Usually the two go hand in hand and are allowed to just run around the city barraging people.
3) Poverty - Everyone is poor/ struggling and so they’re all in a bad mood.
4) Stabbings and shootings - In my experience MOST of these happen after hours at bars and such. There is no regulation and just about anyone can become in possession.
Then there are people who overdose, I just saw one by college street and Yonge. The situation is so bad, the government is now asking citizens to help them address the mess they created by providing CPR to someone who looks like they overdosed. Wow.
If you live here, speak up.
Toronto is a great place, if you ignore the fact that this is where people can stop taking meds and doing what the voices tell them.
during the day safe= at night, AVOID!

Plain daylight, during a celebration parade. That says it all, and these statistics should be revised.
Toronto is not the same city I saw ten years ago. There are more racial insults, angry people, and actual violence. The other day there was a gang beating up another in a streetcar near King and Bathurst, during daylight. The TTC guy locked himself up and could not care about his passengers any less.
The cops were fashionably late, and they only got one guy.
Awful city, no hope with the current rich and entitled administration at a city level, and total Provincial nightmare.
If you live in the Core or Mid town it’s safe but people are RUDE!!!
West of Allen Road (with the exemption of Lower Etobicoke and Bloor West), and anything East of Don Mills is Rough!! Eglington / Weston Rd /Jane / Dixon/ Kipling / or any part of the East like East York, Scarborough and even the Danforth has become riddled with bad bad Crime! Downtown Toronto (below Bloor St) is very very unsafe. Drugs and Safe injection sites have destroyed the area.
So compared to that Toronto sounds like a heaven.
We need Hope.
Liberal Policies, anti police backlash and acceptability of every degenerate has created very unsafe areas of Toronto.
That said, the odds someone not involved in drugs and gangs in certain bad/slum neighbourhoods will get shot are very low. What is a lot more likely if you are downtown regularly is being the victim of a random robbery/assault. The downtown core has become visibly more dangerous in the past few years, including the downtown loop on the TTC (subway) as there seem to be an ever-increasing number of drugged-out aggressive crazies on the street and the police do nothing about it. The reduction in police numbers of about 600 in the past four years makes the situation worse, e.g a major centre like Yonge-Dundas Square has no permanent police patrol. Most Torontonians have their heads in the sand and the problem therefore will only become worse.
Why we have crime ? No Respect for other people
Why we have robberies ? No Respect for other people's property
I was downtown (so beautiful)
Toronto is a safe and shiny place on most parts
The thing is theres slot of soliciting
As a transplanted American, I think it's cute how the natives here freak out about every murder. It's endearing. Obviously more violent crime is always bad, but I also appreciate the fact that Toronto remains truly outstandingly safe by every actual measure. If you feel uncomfortable around people who aren't white, then sure, you may feel unsafe in Toronto. To be perfectly accurate, though, you aren't unsafe. You're just racist.
I can't say I care about how people "feel." If you "feel" safe in an American ghetto and you don't "feel" safe in Toronto, that's your problem. I prefer facts. In 2016, as for the last couple decades, Toronto was the second safest city with at least a million people in all of North America, after Montreal. Compared to all other *Canadian* cities down to a couple hundred thousand residents, Toronto is a bit safer than average. There's less violent crime than in Vancouver, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Calgary, Regina, Saskatoon, and Saint John, but it's more dangerous than Ottawa, Quebec, and Montreal. The stats are freely available for anyone who cares to look.
Comparing internationally is a bit trickier due to differing definitions of crimes, but one crime we can agree about is homicide. Dead bodies can't be classified away. By that measure, the Toronto metro area is safer than all but two of the 113 American metro areas with at least a half million residents. Only ultra-Mormon Provo, Utah and ultra-boring Portland, Maine have fewer dead bodies per capita. Toronto is more than ten times bigger than either of those, too.
There are plenty of Canadian racists saying things like "the violent brown people are stealing all our social services." Obviously, nothing true will affect their beliefs, as they really aren't willing and/or able to process information about the world logically. For the benefit of the rest of the readers, though, the fact is that the overall violent crime rate of the "visible minority" (i.e., brown-skinned) population of the Greater Toronto Area is MUCH lower than it is for whites. That's part of why Toronto is safer than the "whiter" cities listed above. Does that mean you should avoid white areas of Toronto? No, that would be stupid, because they're awfully safe, too.
I've focused on violent crime here since getting shot is a lot scarier to me than getting robbed. Toronto definitely has less-impressive but still well below average rates of most other kinds of criminal behavior. Again, all the data is there for you to check out from the appropriate authorities if you care to look.
My wife and I live downtown. There is no issue with guns, assaults, etc at all. Ultimately you think before you act. If you want to hang out at clubs and bars every night with drunks you will find lots of crime. Otherwise Toronto is a very exciting and liveable city.
For those that don't believe me, think about this. Do you really think house price are soaring because crime is out of control or because it is a great place to live?
