Top Ten Dangerous Cities in Canada

Surprises emerged when Maclean's magazine went searching for Canada's safest, and most dangerous communities.

Toronto and Montreal, obvious crime-ridden candidates with their well-publicized racial tensions and gun and gang violence, rank well down a danger list of the 100 largest cities or regions in the country — those of 50,000 people or more. Montreal ranks 19th on Maclean's crime list and Toronto the Good (some stereotypes are true) is a sleepy 26th, gruesome headlines notwithstanding. The most notable result is the geographic distribution of Canadian crime.

Halifax is the only eastern city in the top 10. The top nine — the Wild West — stretch from Winnipeg to Victoria.

Read the complete Maclean's article and find out what are the most dangerous cities in Canada.
