you want a cookie? homicide exists in every city. Toronto is relatively safe compared to its American counterparts.

Which American counterparts?

Detroit? Kansas City? Camden? Sure.

But cities like SF aren’t like those cities at all. Quick google shows 33 homocides in SF and 142 in Toronto. Based on population, that’s 33 per million for SF and 24 for Toronto.
