I grew up in the hood, and all i hear is how bad everything is. Really? you think? All i hear is the sentences the police need this and that. Did anyone stop and think hey lets nip the problem before it gets outa hand? Start anti racism, funded training, youth centers that encourage the youth not shun them. I didnt ever have a helping hand nor did my friends that are now killing each other over this messed up town. Do u actually think they could get a job? Theres no work and people drink like so many people do in P.G. How about the government tries to make P.G a more livable place and start with the people running the businesses and schools. I had teachers tell me I would never amount to anything because I stood up for myself and wouldn't let the authority tell me i was another statistic. Educate the people, listen to the youth were screaming for help but everyones to drunk pointing the finger at whos at fault.

WOOOOO! PRINCE GORGOE IS NUMBER ONE!!! I feel so Bad*** since I live in Prince. I am actually sick and tired of all the crime. Gosh people are dumb. Like…what does murder, rape, stealing, assault and all the other stuff show people? That your a messed up person who needs to be locked up…or beaten…or have done to him what he/she does to people. Thats what i think ahould happen. I think is someone rapes someone, I think the person that man/woman raped. should be aloud to rip the balls and penis off the man who raped that person. Than the rapist should be able to walk with no charge. He ain't rappin anyone again! Sorry, that was waaaay over the top. Anyways. I agree with Stacy, we can't be number one. I'm 16 and I live my life percetly fine in Prince.

You're really retarded, I'm sorry but you are. I don't even live in Canada and I can tell the cities.

I am happy to live close to Caledon.
I believe lot or yours know who is Julian Fantino. I've red his biography "Duty, the life of the cop". Despite the book is written by very casual language he clearly indicated the problems of our society. He brought attention of readers for few problems : bugdet,of correctional institutions, gun control, court system and some apathy to the problem of somebody else.

Gotta laugh over this one! I have 2 big brothers: The eldest has lived in Point Gray in Vancouver & now Bowen Island. The other one lives in Oak Bay in Victoria. Victoria Bro is constantly telling EVERYONE how great Victoria is. This is humble pie for you Patrick! And the family debate goes on…. :) LOL!

the ways to reduce crime is to fund housing, education, social programs, sports/art/music for kids, and health care.

Harper will deal with crime by hiring cops and building jails that a third of the country can live in.

God – yes, GOD – bless Canada.

To say that the east is safer than the west could probably be summed up as follows; all of their criminals had moved out west to take advantage of the economic boom, and then could not afford to move back home after the economy tanked.

Anyone or anything that is going to tell us that kelowna and Victoria are more dangerous than Toronto is full of crap,the non-white population does not trust the police(and for good reason)and will not report or assist them into solving the street gangs,home invasions,mugging,pimping and sexual assaults crowd whom emanate in disproportionate amount out of there communities

I'M SHOUTING AT THE EAST, YOU ARROGANT SOBs THINKING THAT YOU ARE ALL ANGELS AND BETTER THAN ANY OTHER PROVINCES

Again, what's with people calling them Indians? What is this, Texas? It's not even that the term offends me. Ok, it's not JUST that the term offends me. More that anything, it's just confusing. In Victoria, from what I can tell, actual Indians outnumber the natives. You could refer to people from India as "east Indian", but why must they get an extra word in their title just because Chris Columbus was a jackass? They were Indian first. It's about time they got that term back.

The Good the Bad and the Ugly , I believed It never seen change over 1000 years. It'd happened more or less crime in the world. HA HA HA WHAT "S A BEAUTIFUL = Balance?

Hello readers, moderator,

Our youth fully exploits without a second thought as to rest of us the liberal system including social safety nets and this circle widens with our own inaction and without our notice and we point at RCMP, the kind judicial system, our extreme individual and liberal rights, easy go peezy-happy go lucky attitude, our food banks (wherein we shamelessly send our already fatigued and hard worked elders and retired making them feel ashamed having worked so long just to wait in food bank line-ups-in fact our youth should roll up their sleeves and get their due share at their door steps) and fall prey for immediate and get rich quick schemes, street drugs and the list is endless.

I am also ashamed that the present government had a about turn face when it came to recent voting on long-gun registry. This pondered me for a long time as to how a responsible individual can tell people and the law system two opposing things at the same time.

The police system we take for granted is always on the line and if you had closely observed "put their lives and families at risk and mind you they do not have the same safety back-ups as the firemen do". If we want our fathers, mothers, children, sisters and brothers protected we better obey the laws.

Drugs might get you high momentarily but it takes away all your hard work you earned hitherto and we will fall in the same food bank line-up.

These days it is a very rare sight that a grandpa walking with a grand daughter hand-in-hand or that a grand son flying a kite and the grand father watching sitting on a park bench nearby.

Retirement means we all become aged and expect fruits to ripen and accessible to pluck and enjoy.

In my mind it is more peaceful and respectful to accept challenges in earning our bread and butter which is over thousand times easy in Canada !

Which one do we need and want ?

I live in St Thomas Ontario, not listed, but about 35,000 people. We have a lot of out of work people here, (and Chatham down the road which is listed) and we don't seem to have any of the problems listed in PG and other cities. One, we have a great police presence. The seem fair, and they are very visible. I'm definitely not an angel and I have no beefs with them. There are no gang issues that I have ever heard of. No drug zone (of course there are drugs here, there are drugs everywhere) and no dangerous area in town. Perhaps there IS a real problem with BC/Alberta/Northern Canada crime and police policies…..

Umm hello? Guest says there is crime EVERYDAY in the GTA. Why are you bringing facts into the argument?

Flouride in the water connected to crime!!??!! Are you kidding right now? Why not just say the pulp mill smell causes the crime, or perhaps falling snow makes people want to commit crimes?!!?! Keep your stupid musings and conspiracy websites to yourself next time.

you said it Jeff ! THEY sure stand out more than any others in PG…so those are the real facts its the truth and people pull your heads outta your ass and admit the the facts…man we need some real stats on what ethnic groups are causing this crap in PG…
