From personal experience...my daughter's mother is from Windsor and all her fam is in Toronto and Hamilton. We were together for 8 years so I've been to the "worst" areas of Toronto multiple times...spent weeks at a time out there. It ain't shyt "hood" about Toronto other than the lower income housing and "project" areas that are similar to what you could find in NY, Chicago, Detroit...ect. You got your petty weed, coke and pill dealers, a couple niccas pimping, a few stick up kids...but overall if you're like me (born and raised in Flint, lived in Detroit) Toronto is LIGHT. Which is actually a good thing, but a lot of Toronto niccas want their city to be some kind of war zone to show that shyt is "real" out there. Toronto is safe as hell. I guess if you came shinning out there trying to floss on some late night shyt a nicca might get you, but that's almost everywhere. Overall it ain't shyt "wild" or dangerous about Toronto.
