Paul Anka Says Toronto Crime Soared as 400,000 Immigrants Reshaped Canada

Paul Anka told Bill Maher on the "Club Random" podcast that Canada’s crime rate has gone "through the roof," citing Toronto’s intake of more than 400,000 immigrants.
Anka framed the change as a break from what he described as Canada’s formerly homogeneous character, contrasting it with the United States as a country long shaped by mixed cultures.
Bill Maher backed the broader argument, saying Canada and England are both feeling the effects of mass immigration and arguing liberals treat demographic change as automatic "progress."
London became Maher’s main comparison point: he said the city is now about 70% minority and used it to question whether there is any political limit to how much social change progressives will endorse.
