Your Definition

Brantford is a medium-sized city on the Grand River in Southern Ontario, home to about 100,000 people. It is best known as the city where the telephone was invented and as the hometown of Wayne Gretzky. If you read all the other descriptions of Brantford on this website, you’d think it's a giant dumpster fire that is devoid of any sane human beings and should be avoided at all costs. This reputation typically comes from smug big-city dwellers who base their entire opinion on nothing more than what they see when driving through downtown or from moving to an area in the vicinity of downtown for a few years because housing was relatively cheap. They then act shocked when a junkie knocks on their door asking for drug money instead of complimenting their pride flag pin. In reality, most of Brantford outside a two-kilometer radius from Colborne Street East is just a normal place with mostly middle-class neighborhoods and even some upscale areas that are quite nice. Yes, the city does have some rough parts that have been heavily affected by drugs and deindustrialization since the 1980s, but to characterize the whole city based on this is disingenuous, especially when many other cities in the region such as London and Hamilton have areas just as bad, if not worse.
