Hi,
I was browsing thru the Economist , and it got me thinking about the different cities in North America. Long story short, of all the major cities is Toronto the safest (this is implied quite heavily)?
Also what is the nicest part of Toronto?
Just a guy in London making comparisons…
Re: Questions for North American based Guppies
don't live any where close to downtown toronto. it's close to work, but it's got the shootings and the murders and the kidnappings and din diharay rapes.
the new 'burbs (oakville, brampton, missisauga, richmond hill) are where it's at right now. good transportation system, good new housing. it gives the small town vibe while being in the big city.
Re: Questions for North American based Guppies
What of this Rosedale?
Is it the South Ken of Canada?
Re: Questions for North American based Guppies
I feel much more secure in Toronto than London. They think they have lots of violence, but they clearly haven't experienced living in London.
Re: Questions for North American based Guppies
Yes London is a violent city. Esp the South of the city.
Re: Questions for North American based Guppies
Overall Canada is a safe country but when you goto large cities where there is cultural diversity and economic situations are tough you will alway find violence.
I live in Montreal and I find it a safe city compared to Toronto or Vancouver. Montreal has the best transportation system in North America (last I have heard).
But I suggest you move to the suburbs like somebody mentioned: Brampton, Markham, Scarborough, Mississauga..etc
Re: Questions for North American based Guppies
And yet the thought of one day returning to London fills me with joy.....
Re: Questions for North American based Guppies
atleast 20 hurt in Montreal school shooting.
Re: Questions for North American based Guppies
last time i checked, NY was also in North America:naraz:
Re: Questions for North American based Guppies
Seems to me this is more a Canada-only discussion. The term "North America" in the title is only to entice readers. Once you guys are ready to talk about North America, then let us know. :)
Re: Questions for North American/ Canadian based Guppies
Bridal Path is a nice area.
The thing about living in the subarbs is that you must own a car; the transportation service (i.e. GO buses/trains) take forever to bring you into your work area or university (assuming its in Toronto).
Re: Questions for North American/ Canadian based Guppies
I have edited the Thread title to avoid confusion.
Re: Question for Toronto-based Guppies
It was a broad thread. I was hoping to get comparisons between Toronto and other cities residents in NA.
Re: Question for Toronto-based Guppies
I live in vaughan (maple) and this one of the best areas and plus i used to live in oakville before.. both places are really nice...
Re: Question for Toronto-based Guppies
I contest the change of title. Plz change it back.
Re: Question for North America/ Toronto-based Guppies
Yeah. I think Faisal bhai saab was just cracking a joke, since obviously Canadian cities are far more safer than American ones, which makes any argument for "this and this city in America is safer than Toronto" non-existant.
And if you are thinking of moving to North America, I would suggest moving to East Camden. Its a very beautiful city filled with nice, welcoming citizens. Words such as "crime" don't exist in any dictionary there (actually you'd be lucky to find a dictionary in East Camden in the first place). You can just wander across the state and bump across the Sopranos too. Very nice people, might I add.
Re: Question for North America/ Toronto-based Guppies
Yes, I'm Kool, Canadian cities are far more safer than American cities. Especially Montreal ki tau kiya hi baat hai! Masha Allah, masha allah.
Re: Question for North America/ Toronto-based Guppies
Have been in Toronto for more than 2 years now.
General impression has been good. But then again, no place is crime free.
GENERALLY speaking its safer as compared to other similar metropolitan areas. (criteria: Mugging incidents, Random shootings, car theft, vandalism etc etc)
Re: Question for North America/ Toronto-based Guppies
1) Markham
2) Vaughan
3) Mississauga
4) Oakville
5) Jordan
6) Niagara Falls
Re: Question for North America/ Toronto-based Guppies
