Guns are absolutely rife in the inner cities these days. A road in Clapton is known as Murder mile because of the number of drive by shootings that take place....

Really speaks volumes doesn't it.....how some women would put up with almost anything to stay with their men? Personally my husband would only touch me once.....and I would be long gone.

That was Ipperwash - and I already mentioned it.

Worthy of Karma, but I keep trying to give it to the same select band. I think I will go visit the "africa forum" or something and hand out random Karma till I can gome back and give it to those who deserve it!

Never seen any hoopla like this, since the corruption scandal :scared: It's amazing what a little balanced view of canada can do to people's perception, this is not scare mongering, its just pin-pointing what some folks are ignoring

Actually I have, I've visited Montreal several times over the years, and I'd definately choose to be walking alone downtown in Montreal at 11pm on a Tuesday night over doing the same in Peckham. Heck I have done both, and was much less frightened in Montreal...

I wouldn't walk in Peckham at 11 o'clock on a Tuesday morning, let alone at 11pm.

Re: Canada...just like anywhere else really !!!
OK, I think we have ALL agreed that there are parts of Canada that are not good to be in at certain times, on the other hand we all seem to agree that there are many places where it is relatively safe to go all the time, Downtown Montreal and TO entertainment districts for example.
Lets turn this around then. What parts of the UK (if any) do you feel safe walking about in when the pubs / clubs are kicking the punters out???
