Mammoliti focusing on crime? Yawn. Anybody who has lived in any other large city in North America is usually astounded by the lack of violent crime in Toronto. And get this – there are hardly any cops on the street. You can go for days without seeing a single police officer.
You don’t need tons of cops to have no crime.
