Jane and Finch
Jane and Finch is not exactly "
PLAGUED" with violence and crime. It has more crime than some other parts of Toronto, and it's been somewhat worse this summer (2005). But there are so many wonderful, talented, smart, kind, hardworking people who live there, too. I wish people would stop being
so down on Jane and Finch, because bad expectations only
perpetuate the bad realities.

Contrary to the top explanation of Jane and Finch, it's not an "African Canadian" ghetto, not even a ghetto at all.
Jane and Finch south is 24% Black, north is 29% Black.
There's a lot of other races proportionately distributed, which is why approximately 100 languages are spoken there.
83% of
Toronto's Black population live in
middle-class or upper class neighbourhoods in which they make up 6% of the population or less. 17% in low-income neighborhoods.
Example:
Jane and Finch is a
vibrant community with a lot of success stories that are often hidden under negative RACIST
stereotypes exaggerated by the media.

Many people consider this the most crime infested neighbourhood in Toronto, the drug dealers and gangs have leaked out to all directions of these streets for quite a while, it is comparable to some parts of LA or Chicago in '86. However there are still many
phonies and doushbags who use the name of
the neighbourhood to scare ppl when they have
no back
Example:
"My buddies went to jane and
shepherd to fight some guys and they got jumped by
26 nigs"

Firstly,
Jane and Finch is a great neighborhood. It is located in Toronto in the former
North York region. Although I cannot deny the fact that Jane and Finch has a some flaws, it is wrong to
categorize everyone that lives in Jane and Finch as a looser and ganagster wannabes. Jane and Finch was one of the first Government housing projects in Toronto. Due to this there are a lot of immigrants there, who are rather desperate, which, in a way explains some of the activity that goes on in that area. Despite all the negativity that people associate with Jane and Finch, there are a lot of scholars there who are attending post secondary school and are making something of themselves.
Example:
I have been living in
Jane and Finch since I was 5 years old. I am currently 19 and attend the University of Western Ontario. Whoever the imbecile is that took the time to write all those untruthful and degrading comments about the residents of the Jane and Finch area needs to get a fucking life. It says you're from Kingston Ontario, what could you possibly know about Jane and Finch you
trifling bitch. I wish I had something to say about Kingston, Ontario, but unfortunately nothing great has come out of Kingston, Ontario, so there's not much to talk about. They should have founded a better city for
Queens University. I'm glad I rejected their offer and went to Western, I'd hate to have to come across ignorant people like that.

low class area in Toronto, Canada filled with housing projects &
lotz of african-americans & asians.
Gun violence has struck the city and is very common. This is arguably the worst neighborhood in Canada with a lot of gangster rapperz.
Example:
English Man "a mate u from
Jane-Finch Canada eh? u must have sum
canadian bacon?"
"na dawg but i got a canadian style
klip fo yo ass bitch"
