Why I live here - After my parents moved to Scarbrough in 2003, my dad found a job and a few months later they decided to move to Brampton because it was closer to that job. my dad’s work
Why Brampton is not an ideal place to live in Safety & Health First, Brampton has the highest car insurance rate in Ontario. It doesn’t matter if you are rich or poor, high insurance rates mean higher accident liability. Our level of crime has continuously increased in the past 3 years, giving us an extremely high crime rate. Starting from the 90’s, the number of people who use or deal drugs have increased rapidly as well as continuously. Notwithstanding the forests as well as other unpatrolled areas, Brampton already has a shortage of police patrol the area. All of our mayors have never acted accordingly to the situation, therefore leaving it the way it is. With less police there are more criminals moving here since they think it’s safer moreover.

No, major companies do not mean Starbucks, major companies like IBM or Microsoft. You may think why are those companies important? It’s not like we can buy a new laptop from their business buildings. Well, think about it this way. Those companies need an abundance of employees, giving more job opportunities to the public, with a decent pay. But without them, searching for jobs in Brampton is a slow process. The unemployment rate in Brampton may be about the average, but a majority of the employed have jobs that are low paid along with low skilled manufacturing as well as retail jobs, that are substandard for the health of the workers, consequently attracting that high immigration base. Moreover, Brampton’s job opportunities are harmful to health nevertheless the age of the
According to statistics canada Toronto in 2001, around 70% of the buildings in the area are high rise rental apartments but during the industrial era (1940’s ) most were private homes. Immigrants from countries such as the Philippines , Vietnam , Tamil, Chinese , Tibetan , Caribbeans and Hungarian have occupied parkdale since the 1980’s to present leading to the construction of these apartments with high storeys as seen in the census done in 2001. With high number of immigrants in the area increasing,Parkdale area soon developed a bad reputation as a neighbourhood of poverty, crime , drugs and homelessness These reputations led to segregation of neighbourhoods where the rich separated themselves, this happened on the basis of both of income and ethnicity.These is currently mainly occupied by minorities.Looking at the statistics in 2001 the top ten ethnicity living in this area were all immigrants with 20% arriving in Canada between 1980-1991 and other 25% arriving by 1991-2000 according to Ontario immigration data. 51% of these immigrants were born outside canada. Since it cost more to live in nicer neighbourhoods most immigrants end up in areas like parkdale where rent is cheap and other
It also really affects the economy because when people hear about these deaths they would never want to travel down this road which is the biggest highway in all of BC. So people stop traveling down this highway to go on a vacation in BC because they are to scared to travel down there. This is terrifying to first nations to because it has only been first nations being murdered there. Why would Canada’s first people want to stay in a place like that if there people are getting murder and going missing every year and why would they want to leave there when the land is so productive for food and everything they want, but people are taking it away from
Every cold Alberta winter, or dry summer, makes me long for the East Coast. When I grow tired of the brown dirty hills of Alberta, I can close my eyes and picture being back in New Brunswick, bright green meadows and clear rivers. I miss how the fog creeps into your yard in the early mornings, the bittersweet smell of the sea that never could be washed out, I miss the feeling of home. As a child, my family and I would road trip, traveling East to the sea. I remember how the vastness of Alberta would change into the golden prairies of Saskatchewan, then shift into the forested hills of Ontario, and finally the calm rocky shores of New Brunswick. I remember the house we lived in, white paint peeling off the sides of the house, a Canadian and Arcadian flag flying on the porch (put there by my historian of a cousin), floral green wallpaper clashing with antique, mismatched furniture. That house has been in my family for generations, each of our stories have been told, beautiful new memories have been made there. I miss it so much. I miss the beach side bonfires, sparks drifting so far away they became stars, the rainy marketplace days, coming home and smelling like fish. The Alberta cold makes my heartache, I want to go home. My home is a comfortable old cabin, where I grew to not be scared of a
With Canada's Prime Minister Stephan Harper and his Conservative approach to follow in our bordering neighbors foot sets with the Safe Streets and Communities Act, and his 'get tough on crime' approach Canadian's are entering dangerous territory.
According to Lehrer, U., & Wieditz, T. (2009), Toronto saw a massive population growth in a period of thirty years due to the extensive construction of high-rise condominium towers which led to the city being divided into three distinct cities: “city of the rich, the shrinking city of middle-income households, and the growing city of concentrated poverty.” According to the article the division is caused by the development of condominiums as the new form of gentrification which displaces the poor people and focuses to attract the higher-income people to the area.
Immigration provides very constant growth in the labor force, which is helping the Canadian labor market. With the amount of immigrants coming into Canada, there is an increase of jobs being taken in the Canadian labor force. They make up to 70% of labor force and most likely will increase higher percent in the future. The immigrants who have provided their needs for the Canadian labor market for growth and its success take up a great portion of the Canadian labor force population. The immigrants who have come into Canada are skilled workers, (entrepreneurs, investors, professionals, etc) or are unskilled workers (farmers, plumbers, electricians, laborers, etc.).

Canada is viewed as being a very safe and stable place to live because people are lucky enough to have healthcare, benefits for unemployment and family needs, as well as maternity leave. Crime is something that Canadians don’t often think about because people feel as though they are out of harm's way. As Canadians, we’ve watched the world experience different threats and crime, and we’ve seen the world fight back. For example, our neighbors in North America, the United States, have gone through terrorist attacks and issues with guns and violence. Just because we are witnessing these things in other places doesn’t mean that we aren’t at risk as well, and Canada does have certain approaches and regards in place if we are ever in danger. What I wish to address in this paper is how Canada is set up for reacting to crime and jeopardy, as well as an example of where we went wrong in our past. Methods in response to crime, Canada’s legal regime and the issue of Residential schooling for Aboriginals a hundred years ago will be presented.

I would have to say that reducing community violence would be a major issue, because the lack of community policing. Community policing, from the beginning of time has always been the tradition. However, it’s declined. According to Alfred, community policing without a clear focus on crime risk factors generally shows no effect on crime. As, I stated previously, there is a shortage with police officers, this effect, the police agencies ability to hire more police officers to reduce crime in the community. Although there is no reliable evidence to support the link between recent increases in the number of police officers and the drop in violent crime, there is a large body of existing research on the relationship between police strength and crime rates. Is there such a way to strength the police force? Yes, it would take a lot efforts, however it can be done. The problem that occurs, is to determine if it would take more police to reduce crime or if more crime increases police hiring. Honestly, how are they able to actually, prevent something, when there is not enough money to go around. It all balls down to money. If money was provided more for the police agencies, a lot training 's, as well programs can be created within the community, to help build a foundation. I honesty, feel as if the foundation is
Maple Ridge is a quickly developing city in the Fraser Valley and is just a short commute from Vancouver. The rapid growth in Maple Ridge is largely due to families looking for affordable single dwelling units to raise their children. The neighbourhoods of Maple Ridge are all community minded and well organized. The city is one of the safest places in the Lower Mainland. The community is a friendly, warm and a welcoming place that provides a unique setting and lifestyle opportunities for families as well as couples and young professionals. Unfortunately, like any city or town in British Columbia, crime does happen and home break-ins are a large part of Maple Ridge’s crime. Here is a list of safety tips to keep you
For some reason there is the undeniable need for Atlantic Canadians to return to their roots. It happened when my grandfather returned from Ontario to retire in Newfoundland after completing a career as a captain on the Great Lakes and it happened for my mother and father when they moved to St. John’s N.L. after living in Toronto for many years. It also happened to the McCain brothers when they returned to Florenceville N.B. to start a frozen food empire that is now the largest producer of frozen french fries in the world. The Sobeys who still maintain their head office in Stellarton Nova Scotia and the Irvings who maintain head offices in both St. John N.B. and Moncton N.B. and the Ganongs from St. Stephen could easily relocate their head offices to Toronto but choose not to. There is definitely something other than geography that keeps these prominent Atlantic Canadian...
Punishments for crime in Canada. If this bill is put forwards it will affect all the classes of people, middle, upper and lower. In our lives we like not having to worry about getting robbed or killed but not everyone can be worry free about crime. I would like to make it so that no one will have to worry about crime. Lots of places in Canada, people have to worry about crime and I believe the reason for this is because the punishment isnt harsh enough. “ A criminal should not be allowed to enjoy a better quality lifestyle than the victim. And in the case of first degree murder, even life in prison presupposes a better lifestyle than that of the deceased and, thus, the criminal’s death is logical. Not immoral, barbaric or vengeful, just fair.” said Jeffrey W. Tighe, Toronto.
It is believed that people started living moving to Toronto right after the Ice ages. However, there are not any actual evidence to support that. Toronto was always attracted to everyone due to its geographical location. It is standing right next to lake and lands were really fertile. In the past there was
