That’s kinda creepy. I don’t have to go out on a limb to say you’ve never been to Canada while I’ve been to the biggest cities in the US. I live in Toronto. While I am a man I know a lot of women in my life who walk at night DOWNTOWN. And nobody would tell them they are insane to do that. It’s not an issue here. It behooves me that you all assume the world is like the US. It isn’t. Yes there are bad places to not walk at night - certain ghettos for instance, or a certain small city in the prairies with a reputation. The large ones - Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal in most parts are safe for both genders. Come and visit us sometime. Summer is better.

This comment isn’t about violence against women comment. This is about safety of walking at night in cities. So just because I say it’s much safer to walk at night in Canada DOES NOT MEAN I AM DENYING VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN DOESN’T EXIST. Sheesh the logic of some.

Compared to the US, yes it is much much safer here. I would be scared to walk late night downtown ANYWHERE in US cities. Here, that’s never been a problem.

Easy solution: live in a safe country! We have no fears of night walks in Canada.

Looking for a single source for all information is the pitfall. Wikipedia has and always been internet war on “narratives” whatever the field may be. It is perhaps a starting point for most generic of things. But when it comes to topics that are related to or with implications in cultural, political, geopolitics etc in nature, there is information war going on. And the winners are usually the side with the most number of people writing on wiki. To trust it as the ultimate source of facts would make one fallable to a more sophisticated form of influencing that we see on social media.

Wikipedia has ALWAYS been a war front, and not a reliable source of info.
