Toronto is huge. As for crime, it's just like any other city. It depends on where you are. If your going as a tourist, treat it like any other tourist destination. Don't walk around with a map, ask directions from people in safe places (tourist location staff), have a clue where your going ahead of time, don't carry large bags/purses, basically don't draw attention to yourself. It has more pollution than less developed areas and more traffic.

The one in Canada is. I think the population is like 4 million and they have the world's largest free standing structure, it's called the CN tower. But its polluted and lots of crime I think.
