I'd MUCH MUCH MUCH rather deal with the people down here, than the people in the videos I posted from Toronto.
Hastings street rocks!

I'm sure it does. My point was just that youtube videos can't really be used as empirical evidence because they are often alarmist. I live about a 10 minutes walk away from some of the 'sketchiest' intersections downtown and I've never seen any gang violence in Toronto. I feel completely safe walking down my street at 3 in the morning.
Saskatoon is apparently the most dangerous city in Canada and Toronto doesn't even make the top 10, Vancouver does though;p
Most Dangerous Cities in Canada by Rank
Statistics aren't everything though. Certain cities will be more dangerous for certain groups of people e.g. specific racial, class, or gender. I grew up in one of the most dangerous cities of the world, but was more privileged than most so I wasn't exposed to the same level of crime.
Live wherever you feel happy and at home. That means different things for different people or at different stages of your life.
