   I'm pleased that major cities in Canada have an exceptionall low homicide rate.   
      
   The closest in the USA to 5 million Toronto that the USA has, are communities   
   in   
   the USA that have 200,000 people.   
      
   Montreal is less than Toronto.   
      
   I lived in Dallas, I have a place on Mamhttan Island.   I've lived in Chicago   
   too.  Dayton Ohio, and I am thinking about a place in Greenville, South   
   Carolina.   
      
   Toronto is the 5th biggest city in North America, and very peaceful   We have   
   had 52 homicides this year.   New York has far more, so does Chicago, and don't   
   get me started on Dallas.
