Why is there a low crime rate in Toronto, & why does Canada have such a low population?

Toronto has a low crime rate by North American standards, but this is largely because the U.S. has a high crime rate for a 1st world country. The Canadian crime rate is more less the same as the European.

Canada has a relatively low population/area since much of the country has a very severe climate, making habitation difficult.

A harsh winter climate might account for the low population.

As for lower crime rate, maybe it's because of a good social structure in terms of family upbringing. That's just a guess, though.

Toronto's crime rate is low in comparison to US cities because (A) we have a smaller population, (B) We have a different socio-economic situation.

Canada's population is low due to the fact that most of our population centres run along the Canadian/USA border. Alot of the land in Northern Canada is wilderness and much is considered uninhabitable.....you can't farm it and it far from where jobs and civilized areas (eg. cities and infrastructure).

Alot of the people responding have surrounded the issue, and hit on some of the highlights, but citys like Winnipeg and Edmonton have higher per capita crime rates and higher rates of voilence crime than Toronto, the size and climate do play a part in the ease of severe issues,

But we have a better social safety net and internal welfare system (paid healthcare, stronger gun laws, a more open approach to ethnic diversity), and we are a multi-cultual country, respecting the other's whom have emigrated here not forcing them to aclimitize them selfs religous and socially to the Americanize 1 God for 1 country structure.

Low population is due to the way we handle immgration and most peoples blind desire to make it in America, now we here look alot more inviting and that is why we will see a significant rise in population over then next 15-20 years.

Hello from Toronto!! Ok, now you have ask why low crime rate? We have a very low crime rate and the reason is that we have a lot of land and people are spread out and we do have more space. More space, more land means less problems. We here in Canada are around 130 years younger than the USA.

I am trying to imagine what Toronto will look like in 130 years from now. I would imagine it would be more than triple the population than now.

We here have what we call the GTA- Greater Toronto Area. With all the suburbs around Toronto I would estimate we are around 8 million people. But again we have alot more land.

I love our city and thank god I live here!!
