The thing with these events too is that the criminals assume it’s rich people visiting, and they aren’t wrong. I’m not saying she’s gonna get kidnapped or anything but petty crime goes way up and you have to have street smarts. Those are hard to get unless you grew up needing them…and she didn’t lol
Oh lawd. I’m not Canadian but I’ve never ever felt unsafe anywhere in Canada! You guys seem so nice lol and from what I read, crime is lower. At least lower than Chicago (although that’s a whole other exaggeration in itself).
Yeah of course! Didn’t mean to downplay anything, as a visitor I’m sure it’s way different than actually living day to day. I do know Canada is having a housing crisis right now as well as an economic downturn because of inflation. That obviously comes with elevated crime, which is very unfortunate and a whole other bag of worms.
Crime rates are a lot lower here - I’m not saying there is no crime but I’ve never felt unsafe in downtown Toronto or any other big Canadian city. Due to the lack of housing there are a lot more people living rough but you just have to keep your wits about you. She’s witless so that is impossible.

She’s said she’s nervous walking to her car in TO so this will send her over the edge

Have lived here all my life and have definitely felt unsafe here, that increases every year.
