Calgary, Couple travel
I visited Calgary by accident, just had a 3 day layover but it turned out amazing. It was during canadas national day and stempede festival, so the whole city was really festive and the vibes were great! I didnt really had any expectations but im really glad I had a chance to have this experience.

Went camping in Canada with a camper van to explore the country better. Was a very fun experience. Got to see lots of different places and meet great people. Saw lots of small towns with charm. Not too crowded.

Toronto
Historically associated with higher crime rates, though it has many families, schools, and community programs. Most residents live there without incident. Has higher rates of drug use, homelessness, and some street crime, particularly after dark.

I live here and have never felt unsafe and I have gone to the gym alone late at night (11pm-2am) on many occasions with no problems but that is only my personal experience I can’t speak for everybody!

Overall it's a fairly servant town that has a little bit of teenage Hooligans who might drive a bit too fast a little bit of drug problems near the city hall area. Overall I think that Ajax is extremely safe I've never felt threatened or really had any major problems during the day. I think as you get closer to Oshawa there are more problems

I feel extremely safe in Quebec, it is full of live but still calm and welcoming. I’m always comfortable walking alone, even at night, people are helpful and open minded. Some areas have more homeless people, but i’ve rarely had trouble with any of them. I would not say Quebec is an unsafe city
