With more and more violent incidents taking place in the Chinese area, everyone is now a little nervous to go to Huachao to buy groceries and eat at Chinese restaurants.
Recently, a Chinese netizen posted on social **:"Toronto's worrisome security! ”, she reminds all women who go out alone to be vigilant at all times"It's not a mistake to be sensitive, I'm afraid it's not sensitive enough. ”

She said in the post: "In the famous business district of North York (the intersection of Finch and Leslie), I often can't find a parking space, and at 12 noon on Sunday, I stood at the door of the mall and waited for my husband to pick me up. ”
Probably because I was standing there alone, after a while an Indian came up to me and asked me for directions. I said I didn't know, he didn't give up and continued to ask if it was left or right, I said I don't know if I don't live here. He asked if he could have my ***, and I firmly said no. And he was gone. ”
I stood here for a long time and watched, and there was no sign of him coming back. I don't know what this person's motives are, but I feel very unsure. But I was holding a phone and no backpack. ”

Someone is going to squirt and I think I'm too sensitive,But it's not a mistake to be sensitive, I'm afraid that I won't be sensitive enough and don't have a sense of security. ”
She finally emphasized: "When you are alone, especially girls, you must pay attention to safety and pay attention to the changes in your surroundings at any time. Because it was daytime or weekend, I wasn't particularly vigilant in places with a large amount of **. But now Toronto, you need to tighten a string all the time. ”
Unexpectedly, there are actually no netizens in the comment area who think this is an "overreaction", because there are indeed various dangers in Toronto that you can't imagine.
A netizen said: "I sell things in FB Market Place, and there is an Indian who has to go to WhatsApp to chatI also asked if I could come to my house and see other things for saleFortunately, I live in condo, and I decisively refused. ”
In this regard, a netizen said: "I always trade in a place where there is security in the lobbyBut I have a friend who almost got robbed in the lobby as wellSo I'm selling cheap second-hand now. ”
The business district where the incident happened in the original post belongs to a more typical Chinese business district, not only Huachao, but also a number of Chinese restaurants, but the business district as a whole is old, compared with several Chinese business districts in Markham and Scarborough, there are fewer young people.
I didn't expect that such a place would be targeted.
A netizen mentioned: "I often go here, a long time ago a Chinese came to ask me for money, I didn't give it, I thought at the time this is not a big supermarket door, why ask for money in this small business district." ”
Toronto is not what it used to be, and it is relatively safe for friends to travel together, so if you really want to go out alone to run errands, you still have to be vigilant.
