Safety in Toronto sets an example for many cities. Tourists are generally considered safe, and the only time they might be at risk is if they persistently provoke others.
If you behave appropriately and follow basic safety rules, you'll be safe walking around the city even in the darkest hours of the night.
Although at the same time, it's not advisable to visit areas of the city where the black population predominantly congregates. Toronto's Jane & Finch neighborhood is considered a dangerous area. But such areas are usually on the outskirts, through which even the less popular tourist routes do not pass.
