According to a report released yesterday by Statistics Canada, Toronto’s overall crime rate fell 11% last year making it the lowest crime rate among cities with over 500,000 people in Canada. The total number of homicides has increased, however, to a total of 111 last year, making it 2/100,000 which is still below the national average of 3.5. Unfortunately, the perception in the rest of the country is still that Toronto is somehow more violent – yesterday, the Montreal Gazette published the same report by concluding that “Toronto is the murder capital of Canada.”

É… e, nós, futuros imigrantes, ficamos sem saber em qual manchete acreditar… Os números sempre mostram que Toronto é muito segura, sim, senhor, mas vira e mexe aparece uma reportagem falando da violência que aumenta a cada dia, da insegurança, etc, etc.
Beijos,

Toda vez que assisto aos noticiários na TV tenho a impressão de que o crime tomou conta de Toronto e é incrível como sempre tem algum caso de violência na região da Jane X Finch.
Apesar da impressão, os eventos são concentrados em regiões afastadas e a polícia sempre está lá tomando alguma providência.
