hiAll, for a moment i just thought you were talking about Spain. Man, how can this crap be spreading that
far?. I love that evergreen of Canada seen on movies (Alberta, British Columbia, etc.); it's a shame that crime (ruled by stinky politics) doesn't play fair with that wonderful country.
I need to get the hell out of Spain (of Europe, indeed) ASAP, and i've been considering some places in Washington State like Sammamish, Bothell or Woodinville; and even some other places in Colorado: Boulder, Loveland or Fort Collins. As usual, i can't find any crime statitistics for Canada -by the way, you won't find anything usefull for Spain or the rest of Europe either as, you know, burocrats here are trying to hide our disgraces to the world.

Toronto is the San Francisco of Canada and if you like that type of lifestyle then Toronto welcomes you with open arms

I'm going to be 20 soon so I don't think that's a problem.
So how safe of a place is Toronto actually? is it safe enough for a 19 year old girl or is it not that safe, but it's safer to go with someone?

In 2008 people seemed to think it was a pretty safe cit:
Crime down in Toronto - thestar.com
I can't see any point in comparing it to other cities, though, because it really doesn't make any difference what the safety of another city is if you are in Toronto.

Besides, one of the links I gave was from the Toronto City Police and I would imagine they live in Toronto, too.

Weyburn, SK still qualifies as a city (I think) and the one murder they've had in the last five years was the talk of the town for months.
However, Toronto is much safer than big cities in the west, like Winnipeg, Calgary, Saskatoon or Vancouver.

From what I saw recently, it's much safer in downtown Toronto than downtown Vancouver. Drugs aren't nearly the problem as it is on the west coast.
