Right, that's a really nice anecdote.
If you want to say stuff like Wherever there is a 'new' Somalian community, the crime (drugs and related) offenses are off the charts with over-representation. In Toronto - a big slice of the 'violent murder' pie is committed by Somalis - and they are near 0% of the actual population. in association with building a database of undesirables, maybe don't be stunned when people ask you to back up your anecdote with some data.
That it might be illegal to gather such data in Canada doesn't change the nature of your anecdote though.
