Look at the type of people that commit the crimes, and ask yourself why Toronto (pop. 4.9M) has a much higher murder rate than Montreal (3.9 M) and Vancouver (2.1M).
As for comparing Detroit and Toronto? Considering that up until a few years ago if you could walk into a gun store with a pulse in Detroit you could purchase a handgun, crime should be non-existant in TO comparatively. It's not.
Stop trying to pin the blame on the US and put the blame where it belongs --
Poor immigration screening
A laughably lenient judicial system
A useless and actually counterproductive gun registry
Bleeding heart politically correct politicians that neuter the police.
