I lived in Canada / Toronto for 18 months, seems like Toronto is on a higher standard? correct me if I am wrong, as I haven't seen anything like this during my 18 months there. With all the health benefits and standards of living in Canada how can someone reach this level? I would assume it is factors regarding drug addiction, but probably nothing financial.

poorest neighbourhood in Canada is in Vancouver, the rest of the city is clean though

Oh ok, thank you for clarifying :)
