Are there ghettos in Canada?
« on: November 02, 2005, 10:26:43 AM »
It seems like a pretty clean country with little crime, are there ghetto neighborhoods where just minorities live with lots of crime and shitty buildings and stuff? I remember on Bowling for Columbine Michael Moore had a little segment pointing out the Canadian ghetto and it was a nice apartment complex, was he right?

lol...man u soundin hella ignorant right now

The world is ghetto. Theres ghetoos all over the world. All over the world u have places where the poorest of society is pushed into. You got corners where the lower classes congregate. Anywhere in the world u got public housing, welfare etc etc that shit is universal.

Here in toronto we got ghettos and hoods, some nasty as hell, most decent compared to fuckin american slums. but dont get it twisted T Dot we keep it gd up

Of course there are some ghettos in Canada, but they don't hold anything to the ones in America in size or ruffness.
What Micheal Moore was showing is true. A lot of the ghettos are goverment-run apartments. In Canada that means they're pretty nice.
Government owned complexs in America are shit to the ones in Canada.
I've seen government housing that is better then regular housing all over Winnipeg, Mb.

My father grew up in one, so I'd say yes.

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.

Vancouver has the second most property crimes in North America next to Miami.  It is the stolen car capitol of North America.  And we average 1 bank robbery per business day.  If you wanna see a ghetto, go to the downtown eastside of Vancouver. 








The only place in North America where the government gives out herion and clean needles to junkies.  Just go to google and search "downtown eastside" and see how much stuff on Vancouver comes up.

dude youre the one sounding ignorant. i asked a simple question. it wasnt to spite you, but it obviously struck a nerve cuz u prolly listen to too much ghetto music and wish u were a part of it. the wrold is not a ghetto, the world has a lot of very nice things. stop trying to sensationalize a lower quality of life and pretend like its somethign that earns braggin rights. i cant stan u suburban dfuckers who speak on ghetto life like u have some connection thru rap music something, just stop. you are the brainwashed ignorant one. end of discussion.

i dunno... the problem was there WAY b4 they started all these new programs... the reason for these plans is to try and keep the drugs off the streets.. the last thing u want is to step on a fuckin needle that has just been used by someone HIV positive.
