Hand guns have been tightly restricted since the '50's. Unfortunatly, that does little to keep them out of the hands of the hard core element that want them.
In practice, there are very few guns on the streets of Canada.
A few years back, my city's hockey team came in second best and there were a lot of upset fans rioting in the streets. One notable statistic that came out of the ruckus, was two hand guns seized.
On the plus side, the city of Vancouver is the host to Four Summer nights of fireworks every year. That draws crowds of family viewers that number in the hundreds of thousands. It is nearly always peaceful and a great time for everybody.
Go West young man, eh

Not anymore it's not, actually the building is in Dubai now. (not the CN tower lol) They took the crown as of this year actually. I remember hearing something about it on City TV how they were upset about it. But CN Tower is a great building and it's cool to go up.10-11-08 02:35 PM - I don't think much is going on in TO that weekend. As others have suggested, there is the usual touristy spots like the CN Tower, Rogers Centre, Air Canada Centre (home of the Leafs and Raptors), Eaton Centre (mall), St. Lawrence Market, Yorkville (trendy/$$), Fort York, Distillery District, Danforth (Greektown), Chinatown, Entertainment District (bars, clubs), etc. A quick visit to Toronto's website will give you a bit more ideas.
I was going to say if you ventured out an hour west towards Kitchener, one of the largest Bavarian festivals, Oktoberfest, is going on. The only thing is you'd need to get transportation out this way.
Plus, you could drive past RIM HQ in Waterloo
