FWIW..
''While homicide rates in Toronto were relatively low for several years, they started to increase in 2016 until Toronto experienced the highest homicide rate among major Canadian cities in 2018;
[14] in that single year, the city surpassed the homicide rate of New York City.
[4] Homicide rates declined again in 2019; when compared across major metropolitan areas, the
Greater Toronto Area ranked ninth in Canada with a homicide rate of 2.26 per 100,000.

''Today, the multicultural face of Toronto is well reflected in the city's underworld, which includes everything from Jamaican
posses to Eastern European
bratvas to American
biker gangs. The genesis of many foreign criminal organizations in Toronto has often been linked to the drug trade, as with the large influx of heroin and various Asian
triads during the 1970s,
[131] or cocaine and South American
cartels in the 1980s.
[132] These criminal groups, however, occasionally have a political bent as well, as with the
Tamil organized crime groups such as the
VVT and rival AK Kannan gangs, which warred with each other in the city's streets during the 1990s and early 2000s over the brown heroin trade.
[133] In recent decades, Toronto has also seen an infiltration of major American street gangs such as the
Bloods,
Crips, and
Mara Salvatrucha.''
