As someone posted on some of the cbc comments, if Richardson was right, wouldn't Toronto be the most crime-ridden city in Canada (42% foreign born)? In fact it has the LOWEST crime rate in Canada. Regina, with only 7% foreign born has the HIGHEST crime rate in Canada.
Calgary's a very accepting place to all kinds of people including immigrants. It's a city built on outsiders. These are shameful comments that I don't think represent the views of Calgarians or most Canadians. Calgary's also becoming one of the most diverse cities in Canada. Approaching 25% visible minority. Only Vancouver and Toronto have a higher rate - Calgary's higher than Montreal.
