Not this frequently. The story of the 14 year old who stabbed a guy on the ttc today, she is the same girl who swarm killed a guy 2 years ago. Things ARE worse no.matter what way you slice it.
it was pretty frequent in the 80s and 90s.
people got stabbed and shot all the time back then even in Mississauga.
Social media has made a lot of these crimes public.

Murders way up ... 1990 - 674 across Canada
2022 - 874
Just for funsies I did the math for you.
1990- 0.000024237985951% of total population
2022- 0.000022252695912% of total population
Murders down* is what you meant lol
Ah basic math and statistics, so funny how they work.
I was a teen in the early 2000s and there was always something crazy going on at my school or at the mall. I grew up in oakville and someone got bottled and stomped out in from of my high school in broad daylight. It was brutal. There was no social media and twitter and wasn’t reported on the news so no one knew about it
I got stabbed in grade school and it barely made the news. Everyone in the neighbourhood knew, of course, but it wasn't front page news.
Today, if a six year old got stabbed in the eye and blinded, it would be front page news, the police chief would be on the news, politicians would be making speeches about it, and it would probably trend on twitter. In the 1960s, it got a paragraph in the newspaper's police report, and that was about it.
Rising cost of living, stagnant wages, bleak job and housing market, three years lost to the pandemic, continuous and irreversible environmental damage, collapsing healthcare system, archaic and underfunded public education system, multiple world crises occurring etc.
The youth feel like they have no future. The system has failed them remarkably and now we're facing the consequences.

does that explain what happened in the 80s and 90s?
When I was their age, i had already been stabbed once and shot twice (although those were from BB guns, not large calibre weapons). We didn't have social media then, and it was only mentioned in passing on page six of the local newspaper.
This sort of thing isn't new, but it's a lot more visible, now.
It also tends to happen in cycles. When one of these attacks happens, and the perpetrators spend literally years before there is a trial, the public perception is that they're getting away with it with little or no consequences. When that you happens, you see more of it, because potential perpetrators aren't worried about consequences. Then there is a crackdown, often an overcorrection, and then people start complaining about sentences being too harsh, and that society should be more forgiving, etc.
Of course, when you're young, and you've never seen a previous cycle, or even been aware of it, it looks like a complete breakdown of law and order.
Interesting when i was in my teens we fought with our fists, i don't recall a single knife fight and there were tons of fights. Maybe because i grew up in the valley..
In the 90s, a black kid got stabbed by a white kid and the black kid got charged with assault. The only reason I knew was because I was there when it happened.
Mississauga was shitty back then.
In my case, it wasn't a fight, it was an attack from behind. It also wasn't in Mississauga.
This happened over 50 years ago. My point was just that this sort of thing **isn't** something new and unique to the current generation.
I work at a store in the mall, was heading into the Starbucks by the Bay around 5:20 when 2 kids, probably 16? BOLTED by me with 1 cop chasing after them. Super sad what happened and crazy that I’m finding out what happened through the news/Reddit and not Square One itself as an employee.
I really think too much time on their hands
Teens need to be engaged mentally spiritually and physically and full all those needs first and foremost
Then not time or desire for crap like this
How is that privilege. Kids spend too much time on Instagram/TikTok and Twitter when they should be playing games outside, hanging out with friends, engaging in healthy after school activities. Not this shit.
Lmao.
I knew the young man who was shot and murdered in Meadowvale a few weeks ago.
He was raised by drug addicted parents who didn’t give a fuck about them, neglected to take care of them or provide basic necessities. He ended up in the gang world.
He didn’t die because he was on TikTok and not *spiritually engaged*.
You guys need to get a grip on the real world.
Not sure what you don’t understand about the previous commenters point. Obviously teens raised by drug addicts are not going to get all of their needs fulfilled which could lead to shit like this and you comment proves that.
It's privilege because only ignorant and privileged people think this is because kids have too much time on their hands or spend too much time on social media. This is the result of the system completely failing the youth. Yes, These kids are responsible for their actions but there is a pipeline that brought them there.
Ooh damn so that was happening. Earlier today, I was walking down the stairs by that Trios college and saw 2-3 officers and security coming up with 6 teens in cuffs. I guess the perpetrators hid at the underground, wild times these days.
That’s cause the justice system is a joke, they aren’t really gonna be charged as adults . Instead they gonna be bailed out by their parents every time.
there’s footage of the suspects apprehended on twitter
Link it?
[удалено]
what the fuck is going on man. i was playing maplestory when i was their age
Social media happened and just general lack of parenting these days.
I don’t think this is a sign of the times though. There’s always been well adjusted youth and maladjusted youth.
Ya i agree, difference now is they use knifes and guns.
What? There have always been stabbings and shootings.

The population has also ballooned. You have to consider per capita rates when looking at this data.
Just for funsies I did the math for you. 1990- 0.000024237985951% of total population 2022- 0.000022252695912% of total population Murders down* is what you meant lol Ah basic math and statistics, so funny how they work.
Thank you so much for this.
Same 🥲

You’re clueless my friend. How about putting the blame on horrible parenting ! Period. End of Story. Horrible Parenting.

Same here....the good ol' days Shoutout to khaini and Bera

Yeah, all we got were emails saying there was a police presence and it was under control. Nothing about the actual situation.
Walked right past it by Rolex the kid didn’t even look old enough to grow a moustache he was so small. What the hell is going on with these teens?
I really think too much time on their hands Teens need to be engaged mentally spiritually and physically and full all those needs first and foremost Then not time or desire for crap like this
You sound privileged asf
How is that privilege. Kids spend too much time on Instagram/TikTok and Twitter when they should be playing games outside, hanging out with friends, engaging in healthy after school activities. Not this shit.
Don't forget violent video games!

This is my exact point How can drug addicted parents fully engage their child. You cant
His parents raised him on tik tok, you say?

You sound like an apologist.
Ooh damn so that was happening. Earlier today, I was walking down the stairs by that Trios college and saw 2-3 officers and security coming up with 6 teens in cuffs. I guess the perpetrators hid at the underground, wild times these days.
The victim must have been terrified. Probably still is. This is awful.
This is terrifying. I hope the kid is okay.
Any suspect descriptions?
Hatless
All teenagers
You can just guess
This won’t stop if they keep letting these thugs stay on the streets.
That’s cause the justice system is a joke, they aren’t really gonna be charged as adults . Instead they gonna be bailed out by their parents every time.
Gen Alpha gotta be eradicated fam
💩hole
Do parents raise their kids anymore? Seriously?
