Comments by "UzuMaki NaRuto" (@UzumakiNaruto_) on "TORONTO, ONTARIO CANADA AT NIGHT" video.
@bulletandaballot Toronto is much worse than it use to be, but even so its still much better than most every major US city in terms of safety and crime rates. Just sucks that Toronto is going downwards towards becoming more like a US city than being better and becoming more like many peaceful and safe cities in Asia.

I usually think of Toronto as being a smaller, less densified version of NYC. Outside of the downtown core and the original city, there isn't much that's interesting about this place since the rest of it is suburbs build for cars. NYC on the otherhand seems to have alot of interesting places to see and not just Times Square.

@sweetlikechocothai Its not 'that bad' relative to US cities, but its REALLY BAD compared to how it was in Toronto/GTA 20-30 years ago and its definitely among the worst compared to other Canadian cities especially when it comes to gun and other violent crimes. The sad thing is one demographic of people is causing the overwhelming majority of the problems here and yet no one wants to do anything about it.

@sweetlikechocothai one demographic of people? That sounds off. Not very off at all ITS FACT. If we're talking about Canada as a whole then add a couple of more demographics of people to the list who are causing the overwhelming majority of crime and violence in this country, but for Toronto/GTA its no question that its ONE SINGLE group of people that's causing 90-95% of the violent crime problems here and are the worst behaved demographic and it ain't even close. It just sucks that they're so protected from criticism and accountability simply because they're a loud and angry group of people that would cry racism at the drop of the hat and that's enough to turn our politicians into cowards that refuse to do anything about their horrible and violent behaviors.

Good thing that the redevelopment of Regent Park seems to have helped that area a fair amount and crime and violence seems to have gone down in that neighborhood.

Alot of what made Toronto a nice place to live and all the interesting things that it use to have are now gone and replaced by condos and big box stores. Our leaders have sold this city out to corporations and the wealthy instead of making it a better place to live for the general public.

@Ms_Tania You grew up in Hamilton that's why you don't know the real Toronto which was very far from being very violent and dangerous back in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s. Toronto and the GTA always had a few problem neighborhoods. but the number of shootings and stabbings and general amounts of violent crime were much less. It was less than 20 years ago when people were completely shocked and angered over the Jane Creba shooting when thugs started shooting at each other in downtown Toronto among huge boxing day shopping crowds. Then there was the Eaton Center shooting which again shocked the city that such a brazen attack could happen in a place full of people. innocent bystanders. Now shootings and stabbings in downtown Toronto and other parts of the city are a fairly common occurrence that most people aren't even that upset or surprised by it anymore. School violence was also fairly rare 20-30 years ago and now its a pretty common occurrence as well to the point that many teachers and school workers are now afraid of a certain demographic of students who are running wild and no one has the courage to stop them for fear of being called 'racist'. Also when it comes to drugs, it was always an issue there's no question about that, but its WAYYY worse now because again our politicians refuse to get these addicts off the street and into programs or at least away from the public because they're afraid of the backlash from 'activists' who mostly seem to be in favor of letting these addicts shoot up to their heart's content until they die. Homeless people was another problem that's always existed that's wayyy worse now. 20-30 years ago homeless encampments in public parks that people used regularly was pretty rare, but now its a common thing. The point is Toronto USE TO BE a much more affordable, better and safer place to live and now its gone to hell because of poor management, corruption and the unwillingness of our politicians to acknowledge the problems the city has and having the courage to make tough decisions to fix them and not be afraid and intimidated by small groups of loud people.

Toronto isn't as bad as some make it out to be, but its definitely much worse than what many people want to believe. Our politicians especially are burying their heads in the sand as to how much things have gotten worse in recent years in the GTA because they don't want to deal with accusations of racism and the anger of SJWs.

Drugs are everywhere because our politicians and idiot 'activists' are blocking any meaningful action that could be implemented that could quickly fix alot of this problem. Drug addicts, alcoholics, the mentally ill, homeless and assorted violent people all take more precedence and have more rights than the general public do.

Well its this channel's purpose to show the not so nice parts of cities. Many other channels that show the good parts of Toronto and other cities. To be fair though Toronto didn't use to be this bad 20-30 years ago.

@evaone4286 There would be less traffic on the Gardiner if they would have the balls to knock down the old Gardiner and build a brand new one, but make it a triple decker. First deck would be for traffic to downtown as it is presently. Second deck would be an actual expressway that bypasses downtown almost completely for those who want to go from east to west and vise versa. Top deck would be a new park for people and cyclists to use to get around easier and to enjoy. Unfortunately no politician would want to do that and some portion of the public would object to a bigger newer expressway even though it would greatly help with traffic. Instead we're spending a couple of billion or something like that just to fix a small portion of the old Gardiner instead.
