Have you ever seen "slums" in "Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand, Norway and Holland"? Seriously, they look identical. The general demographics, quality of life, crime rates and so on are about the same too.
And the ones comparing these areas to Brazil, Africa, and Asia were not Torontonians, they were people from those places and elsewhere bemused that anyone would refer to this area as a slum.

You mean small and boring?
And please, if you think Rob Ford's mayoralty is going to improve the living conditions for the poor in Toronto, THAT is clearly delusional.
