I think if you were to measure the metro area of most canadian cities, Greater Vancouver would probably have the worst crime rate and Montreal, calgary, and perhaps windsor would rank low on the crime rate scale.
Vancouver is a city with a very high property crime and thievery rate but conversely it has a relatively low violent crime rate.
Surrey is Vancouver's black Eye most definitely. It's the only place in Vancouver I have felt unsafe. Even the DTES isn't that bad, it is merely filled with a lot of druggies who tend to leave you alone.
The city of Vancouver alone is probably one of the safest cities in Canada, the metro area however is not.
