Toronto, nearly identical in size, had 84 murders last year which was one of their highest totals ever. Chicago had 836 or 10 times more than Toronto in one of Toronto's worst years. Both Canada and the US fancy themselves as developed first world countries and Toronto is one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the world. Even New York, which is almost 3 times larger than Chicago, had 485 murders. Hopefully that answers your question and maybe you will answer then what is out of control? If Chicago becomes Juarez?
