I keep reading the news and all you hear now is that person A got car jacked or knifed or killed by a gun.
I am trying to have faith in humanity in this city but it is getting harder and I keep wondering oh great all this violence will make people even more closed off here than they already are.
I think this city is becoming like a US city without all the good things that come with the bad things of a US city (large job markets, great restaurants, higher salaries). It seems the only thing Canada or Toronto has going for it is the "free healthcare" which for anyone like me that has had to deal with that with a loved one it is really hit or miss. It is at times mediocre and at times fantastic. But apart from the free healthcare we are slowly worst off than the USA. At least some USA cities have better weather than here and you can actually talk to strangers.
My feelings is that people are over stressed and angry in Toronto. The wages don't go up and everything is more expensive. People work really hard here and some can't get ahead even with degrees. So this makes the place less friendly and open not to say Toronto was ever friendly it's polite not friendly.
Are you scared how bad it could be in ten years here ? If I have to die in Canada I might have to move to Guelph or something not to get shot or my loved ones.
