Poverty, and crime and crime due to poverty. These are issues that continue to haunt the Rexdale community. Often on the news you'll here a story about something going down in the city's north west end if in fact they don't directly refer to Rexdale by name. Case and Point, this headline:
Rexdale area knife assault targeted, police say
Whats more is this: whenever your neighborhood, no matter how great you may think it might be makes it into the urban dictionary website, its usually not an indication that you are living in a pristine, upper echelon type of neighborhood. These are just a few of the definitions that some provided.

To kill someone and steal their possessions, a common practice in Toronto's Rexdale neighbourhood - hence the name.
1) "Nice Shoes! If you weren't my friend, I'd Rexdale you for them!"
2) "President Bush announced plans to Rexdale the people of Iraq for their oil today."
Keep in mind that these are definitions that people deem to be synonymous with the community of Rexdale and those are only two. There are many more, and I've actually heard on numerous occasions the word Rexdale being used in order to describe what could lead to a volatile situation. Socioeconomic reasons aside that says something....
