@BajJamBeauty 80s and 90s were never close to being as bad as it is now. Before 2014 the city rarely saw over 300 shootings. After 2016 the city is averaging close to 400 shootings a year and hundreds of stabbings as well. Armed carjackings and car thefts were never this bad, random assaults never this many and other various violent crimes were much lower.

@BajJamBeauty shootings are not the only form of violence. The population of toronto now is significantly higher than in the 1980s so more people equals more crime. However the rate of crime is about the same range. How sad is it that instead of wanting to do something to fix these major crime and violence problems, we now have people rationalizing and downplaying the problems and trying to make everything seem not so bad as if hearing about a shooting and/or stabbing happening somewhere in the city EVERY SINGLE DAY is somehow a 'normal' thing for a major city. The fact is THIS IS NOT NORMAL, its just that we've lived with it for so long that most people are resigned to the fact that between SJWs crying anytime police tries to crack down on certain demographics of people who are responsible for the overwhelming majority of these violent crimes and our politicians and justice system refusing to do their jobs in protecting the public and holding perpetrators accountable for their actions for fear of being called 'racist', people have just learned to live with these problems. In the current society we live in if you criticise the wrong groups of people, you could ruin your professional and sometimes even your personal life and who wants to risk that especially our politicians and other public figures who have so much to lose? So the general public is left with simply living with these crime problems in silence and suffering quietly and hoping they're not the next victims of all these thugs and criminals running wild on our streets. Also I seriously don't understand why you downplay all the violence that's happening on the streets daily?? Again barely a decade ago we averaged less than 300 shootings in most years and now Toronto is averaging 400 shootings a year along with hundreds of stabbings. And all this doesn't even include all the surrounding areas in Southern Ontario that have also seen significant rises in violent crimes because criminals have moved elsewhere in the region. Places like Brampton, Pickering, Oshawa and other surrounding areas never use to be in the news for violent crimes until the past few years when it increased in those areas as well. Also in the history of Canada we've never had a 'car theft summit' until now where people stealing vehicles has gotten so bad that all levels of government couldn't ignore it anymore and they're only now starting to do more to try and tackle the problem. One last thing is that even if the crime rate isn't increasing in the same proportions as the growth in population that doesn't change the fact that the number of violent crimes has increased significantly. Hypothetically if the population in the GTA region increased by 100,000 every year and even 1% were bad people, you're still adding 1,000+ new violent/criminal/poorly behaved people to run wild in your cities every year. If you know anything about criminals and crime its that it really doesn't take a large number of them to make a city violent and dangerous for the vast majority of peaceful people and that's exactly what's happening in the GTA and surrounding areas right now.

@BajJamBeauty if u know anything about crime & criminality u would know increased poverty levels equals increased crime levels. That's the biggest BS excuse in the history of BS excuses. Just because you're poor it doesn't automatically make you violent or criminal. You know how I know this to be true? Because if being poor increases crime and violence then much of Asia should be on fire with crime and violence because HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of asian people live in poverty that anyone living in a western country would never experience outside of homeless people. Looking at Toronto/GTA are you saying that there aren't many people from all different races/ethnic groups who don't live in poverty? Are you saying only one or two groups of people are living in poverty while every other demographic has little to no poor people? Cmon now you know and I know this isn't true. People living in poverty come from all demographics and yet guess what? Its ALWAYS the same couple of groups of people committing probably 90-95% of all violent crimes in the GTA. If you removed these couple of groups the GTA crime rates would drop to historic low levels overnight where shootings and stabbings would be very rare crimes. The whole tow truck crime syndicate which is a billion dollar business in Canada is heavily mixed in with the police & they along with other govt workers actually help to facilitate a lot of car thefts. I'm sure there is corruption among police and some of them are mixed with criminals in helping them and earning some money on the side, but that's not what I'm talking about here. I'm just talking about regular citizens who engage in crime and violence who overwhelmingly belong to just a couple of groups of people. No crime we wouldn’t need police & duh they’re not going to put themselves out of business again common sense things. That's absolutely not true. If that were the case then Japan who's practically the safest, most peaceful nation and has the least crime in the world wouldn't need a police force would they? But guess what? EVEN THEY still have a police force except their cops don't deal with drug dealers, car jackers, robbers, gun crimes, stabbing crimes, violent assaults etc. on a daily basis like we do in Canada. Japanese cops mostly just maintain order and deal with minor crimes 99% of the time.
