What Toronto areas aren't safe?

[InspiringNozy]

I'm a Montrealer moving to Toronto by winter. I'm not too familiar with the city of Toronto, but I do hear about lot of gunshots and some gang areas in Toronto. Anyone have any idea of which specific area to avoid and where is more safe in Toronto?

Avoid Jane and Finch like a plague!

To me, I feel living in the GTA is more peaceful than living in Toronto itself. Brampton or Mississauga is very cool and fun.

Although there is crime in most places, but there's also a heavy police presence throughout the city. Some areas are safer than others. Don't walk home alone after a night out or get ubers and stuff and you shouldn't have any issues.
