[TVOneHood]

R.I.P Regent

[indoguju]

I can tell you Regent park is pretty poor, but you're safer walking there then some parts of west scarborough or malvern, even the rexdale area. Some people say Jane n finch isn't that bad but it is..

[TMOLVIK]

Im sorry but is a white person not supposed to be racist to a black person when you see photos of vandalism like these?

[SneaksForFreaks]

@TMOLVIK most writers in canada are whites.

[jerghegoh]

[vigotheunholy]

That song goes perfect with the video. Can you tell me what is that other song { title and artist } in the beginning? The part that goes, "Hard times in the city. Hard times in the world. Ain't no where to run to..."

[888duane]

I've been to Regent Park. It's not as bad as Brooklyn's ghetto's.

[1988scottcarey]

If anyone see's any abandon buildings or houses it's because of the black people,i hear america has the same issues with it's black's making once great communities into trash..Send em back to africa they don't call it the great WHITE north for nothing!

[888duane]

@1988scottcarey Great White North cuz of the snow, not white people.

[JOSEEEE93]

@1988scottcarey white ppl arent welcomed in toronto all u dum rednecks snitch and talk shit den yall wonder why we rob n kill ur ppl.

[1988scottcarey]

[GhostChain13]

@BackBlocks09 i never said that. lol bhahahahaha

[21falconfan]

Free health care

[Dar0922]

@21falconfan  There is no such thing as free health care. The taxpayers in this country pay dearly for the social programs that exist in this country. We are taxed to death in Canada.

[NGWOOD]

fuck retarded... lmfao

[soldierboy1231]

3:01 at the right, thats where my house is, it got torn down now :P

[mikejay007]

What Canada actually needs to to do is raise its GDP per Capita especially in poorer low income areas such as Regent Park or Jane & Finch. Giving the land back to the aboriginals would be really stupid. There are only a select few people that hate on other races not everyone has a hate one for a specific colour or ethnic background. I'm white and I am proud to say I am Canadian and I am proud of our multiculturalism.

[STATUSthesleepers]

these buildings are all torn down now and a new high rise was put up

[NGWOOD]

@STATUSthesleepers lol not all the buildings have been torn down. only a quarter of regent park has been torn down. get your facts straight.

[STATUSthesleepers]

@NGWOOD alright my bad dont hurt me sir

[NGWOOD]

@STATUSthesleepers i dont hurt people on the internet sir thats fuck retarded. regent park wont be fully torn down and fully redeveloped for years. just get your facts straight before u make a post

[STATUSthesleepers]

@NGWOOD my "facts" were from something i read from a website from toronto a while back

[NGWOOD]

@STATUSthesleepers search two teens shot dead in regent park on google this just happened last year the projects havent been torn down fully yet. ive been stabbed five times and my boy has been shot in the leg ive seen so much heart break in the hood so dont talk shit unless u know what ur talkin about this just like ne other hood in the world. TDOT COMING UP! U SEEN DA RAP SCENE WAT!?

[STATUSthesleepers]

@NGWOOD when did i talk shit? i stated something that i read and it happened to be misleading MY BAD, it was a mistake and im sorry to hear u been stabbed. i live in toronto, and i make hiphop.

[NGWOOD]

@STATUSthesleepers deace make ur shit and speak your mind and dont let neone put u down. rep your hood n if u dont live in a hood speak knowledge and teach mans what they need to do to make there live better. knowledge is power and if u can speak ur mind then let it be known. no matter where u come from

[STATUSthesleepers]

@NGWOOD i agree 120% my dude, stay up

[anjet148]

who would have thought canada could be soo ghetto!

[TrandomnesstwO]

Some flicks are a little run down but its not much of a legit ghetto looking area, its the people.

[KnownCriminalz]

@TrandomnesstwO are u serious bruh? lol..where ya from, do whatever u gotta do to come to regent park, take a look around, see what ya say then, while ur at it drop by ne 1 of the other hoods man

[TrandomnesstwO]

@KnownCriminalz Im from London Ont, used to live in Rexdale for 2 years, St.Clair/Dundas for 2 and Shoreham up by Jane/Driftwood for one. Ive been through Regent Park but its nothing compared to those Philly ghettos, which I havent seen in real life so why am I talkin eh.

[Matrixkool99]

USA has more African people because they continued slavery longer then Canada

[zx10rgta]

I have a crazy idea-you punks who want sympathy because you live in a Toronto 'ghetto'(go to the U.S to see what a real ghetto is)-- here's my crazy idea...get a fuckin job and leave the 'ghetto' --I know it's a crazy idea to a welfare collecting bum,but it will work if you would try it. You may have to buy an alarm clock to help you get up in the morning-it's tough at first but you get used to it fast. Simple really--you work you get paid-a concept that most of society has figured out.

[mkuratcz]

you dont even no canada go hard what up

[zx10rgta]

@mkuratcz -I know (not 'no') Canada very well. U.S too-thx

[DELTA2877]

@zx10rgta Tad bit harsh aren't we? I cant say that I completely disagree with what you say, however there are many circumstances which wind families up in community housing.

[RoyalistCavalier]

This is what happens when you let a bunch of third world people from Africa and the West Indies come to civilised countries like Canada. Canada was so much cleaner and safter before the Blacks came and when they arrived they turned whole neighbourhoods into places like resembling South Central Los Angeles and Harlam New York City. Canada does not need West Indians and Africans barbarians who ruin the cities., Canada does need Europeans and Asians who are lawabding and hardworking decent people.

[STATUSthesleepers]

@RoyalistCavalier what canada needs is to give back its land to the natives that were here before EUROPEANS took the land, NOONE is innocent so stop hating on one race

[Blayzinchronic]

@RoyalistCavalier theres alot of white people in regent park to jackass

[dolbuser]

@RoyalistCavalier so are u saying those ghettto buildings were there because of black people? get ur shit straight it was like this a long time ago , canadas first dumb fuck get ur shit straight

[pablo8174]

why are they tearin em down

[KnownCriminalz]

@pablo8174 they r rebuildin it, everything is so old man, its the first projects built in north america

[vance74]

Shit hole of the Universe. May it burn in hell with it's displaced residents.

[Ruffiansea1]

[dundem187]

[wisedomee]

how could the so called black men come to this country and even in amerikkka and claiming streets when it is run by the europeans,if you asked the natives in canada and amerikkka they would laff at you and be teaching u history.understand that the europeans invaded canada in year1700,the natives call this country kanata,the whites put up a flag and called it canada and celebrating their independence july 1st and amerikkka celebrating thiers july 4th.all im saying wake up so call black man.

[kwakis]

@wisedomee We got us a black man as president. Motha fuckers up in KKKanada need to wake the fuck up!!!!!!!

[psychodad905]

nice, but what about inside the buildings? or didn't the film crew know anyone who would let them in. lol.

[PAULOcbi]

@psychodad905 lol,,thats funny ...I grew up in Cabbagetown and lived in RegentPark for a 4 yrs. at 603 Whiteside ,Unit613(the last 2 storey apt. on the end.) Two kids got gunned down in the lobby last night,15 and 18 yrs. old respectively.Both dead.Probably for nothing more than staring at someones girlfriend or stepping on someones shoes.U are right most of the rappers and the drug dealers that sell there dont even live in RegentPark.They might of lived there for a coupla 2-3 yrs, thats it.

[475GC]

americans are a bunch of fuckin pussies who talk shit on youtube but dont come to any hood in toronto and say it...u niggas come here 4 caribana on yonge n dundas n go home u dont know whats around u to go anywhere to know anything about whats really poppin in toronto..u dumb fucks fail 2 realize u have more population and cheap ass guns why u have so much crime..u come here u can die like anybody else..fags

[regentparker1]

i miss my hood and my niggaz

[ineedsomescrilla142]

this is what happens when u make housing projects, it just creates more crime. housing projects should be torn down. they should stop separating people, cus people just end up dying where they were born even if they had a bright future. housing projects all over the US should be torn down, and programs that help the poor should be put in place. EDUCATION, is the key, guess thats y all these online and 1 year vocational schools been proppin up left and right

[475GC]

@ineedsomescrilla142 ur an idiot people gotta live somewhere and everything costs money and theres poor people so there will be poor areas (housing projects)

[brianhogan2007]

@larvostudios2

[larvostudios2]

[mattyjay86]

@larvostudios2 hey did u ever find the song

[TheFightallday]

THIS IS NORTH AMERICA, WE ALL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOMETHING WITH OUR LIFE, UNLIKE THE PEOPLE OF A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY..

TupakiShacurry

[larvostudios2]

Damn! Inever thought that canada got ghettos like this hood!

[vineet123kumar123]

@larvostudios2 lol fuck the rest of canada..all the ghettos are in toronto

[nbaballer230]

@vineet123kumar123 actually north central regina is the most dangerous place in canada its crime rate is worse than la

[mariusbleek]

@vineet123kumar123 people from Toronto have a superiority complex. Your statement is just totally false. Plz stop being so conceited. Just cuz you've never set foot outside Toronto city limits doesnt mean there arent places in Canada just as bad.

[vineet123kumar123]

lol true

but torontos hoods are more tuff

i knoe the west has gone wild but still

i understand u

[empressoffrance]

@vineet123kumar123 Toronto hoods are tuff? You mean tough right. You are not tough, you might think you are. Go to the US. Toronto alone has 5,000 police officers and in the whole of Canada 91 murders were committed in 2009. Go to Detroit or LA and then get back to me. Cry baby./

[vineet123kumar123]

@empressoffrance dude i said more tuff

not the toughest

so chyll i knoe the us is worst

[empressoffrance]

@vineet123kumar123 Dude English, did you mean turf or tuff? You are not stupid, if you were educated in TO. You know better.

[vineet123kumar123]

@empressoffrance dude i said more tuff

not the toughest

so chyll i knoe the us is worst

[empressoffrance]

@vineet123kumar123 Look at you. You cannot even spell. How are you going to survive in the real hood?

[empressoffrance]

@vineet123kumar123 Look at you. You cannot even spell. How are you going to survive in the real hood?

[fuckthemasons]

@empressoffrance the main reason why its like that is the population difference.

the state of NY has more or generally the same population as all of Canada. If you had hoods here with as many people as in the states, the crime rate would definitely go up. The more poor people you cram together, more crime will spawn.

Look at the third world. One's country is the ghetto, which is why crime there compared to Canada is unthinkable.

[empressoffrance]

@fuckthemasons Very well put.

[Love4SK]

@fuckthemasons , Canada and ny state's populations are not even close really. Canada is about 34.5 mill, ny state as about 19.5million.

[fuckthemasons]

@Love4SK word, but that is still more than half a nation.

[OfficialDmack716]

@Love4SK Bitch, your comparing a COUNTRY to a STATE..so it would make perfect fuckin sense that Canada (country) has a larger pop. than New York State (state).

[empressoffrance]

@vineet123kumar123 Lol, obviously you have never visited Toronto or you walk around with blinkers on. Ghettos, please give me a break. Regent Park is history in case you did not know. Those photos were taken after it had been abandoned and the occupants relocated. Take photos of properties built during the early 1900's, they look old. Do you know the value of those properties? From your comments you obviously do not know much.

[empressoffrance]

@larvostudios2 That is a rarity and it is closed down. We have, what we call, 2 rough neighbourhoods, Regent Park and Jane Finch Corridor. Just a bunch of Jamacians and Canadian wanting to imitate the US. Toronto is nothing like that. It is also a rarity to find two black families living side by side. Whomever posted this is a total idiot. Toronto and Canada is beautiful. We have a very low crime rate. Out in the burbs a pot hole makes front page news.

[gullycreepa187]
