Toronto’s set to hit a 50-year low in homicides. So why do many people think crime is getting worse?

The past year has seen heartbreaking tragedy and bloodshed in Toronto.

The shooting of eight-year-old JahVai Roy, struck by a stray bullet in the perceived safety of his home this summer. The stabbing death of grandmother Shahnaz Pestonji, 71, as she loaded groceries into her car on a Thursday morning in July.

But despite such incidents that have seized the public’s attention, 2025 is in fact on track to hit a 50-year low for the number of homicides committed in a single year in the city.


Perception is influenced by quality of life issues and Toronto fails on many fronts.

The transit system is sketchy and used as an insane asylum/homeless shelter while the police are viewed as compromised by a murder cult.

Toronto’s mayor is widely regarded as the dim witted racist puppet of special interests that hate Canada.

Thanks to the federal government’s deliberately harmful mass immigration policy Toronto now resembles a 3rd World Dumpster fire where over 40% of foodbank users are non-citizens.

All of this adds up.
