Lower speeds save lives! A pedestrian hit at 50 km/h is nearly 6x more likely to be killed than at 30 km/h. Let’s advocate for safer speed limits: parachute.ca/ourfutureroads #OurFutureRoads #ParachuteVZ #CYRSW2025

10/ This is not a criticism of your crime camera initiative. It is a reminder that removing a system that made roads safer, just to make violators more comfortable, was a decision with real consequences.

9/ Automated enforcement may not be popular, but it works. It saves lives, even if it frustrates drivers who get caught. Public safety cannot depend on what feels convenient.

8/ This is not about comparing crime. It is about consistent enforcement. If we believe laws matter, we must enforce them. If not, let’s be honest about that. But we cannot cherry-pick enforcement based on popularity.

7/ Automated enforcement works. It reduces speed, changes behaviour, and prevents collisions. It also allows police to focus on serious crime, complex investigations, and community response.

6/ You said the new community camera system costs $350,000. That is a significant public investment. The program you cancelled could have helped fund that by holding speeders accountable. Instead, the cost now falls on every taxpayer.

5/ Driving is a privilege, not a right. Everyone shares responsibility. That includes Granny on her way to bingo. If she speeds, she gets a ticket. Because speeding is illegal, and accountability applies to everyone.

4/ Not realizing you’re speeding is not an excuse. Being unaware behind the wheel is dangerous. If someone cannot stay within the rules of the road, they need education through enforcement. If that does not work, they may not be safe to drive.

3/ Speed limits are based on data, engineering, and survivability. If the posted limits are no longer valid, change them. But if they remain, enforce them. A law unenforced becomes a suggestion.

2/ Statistically, violent criminals often target specific people. Speeders put everyone at risk, including those walking, biking, driving, or even sitting safely in their homes. The scope of risk is broader, more frequent, and just as real.

1/ You said there is no equivalence between criminals who fire guns or steal cars and drivers going a few km/h over the limit. I agree the consequences are different, but both involve breaking the law and putting lives at risk. Neither should be ignored.

Mr. Mayor, I appreciate the response, but there are some serious concerns with what you’ve said. Here’s why I believe removing automated enforcement wasn’t just a bad move, it was a step backward for public safety. 🧵👇
Replying to @VoiceoverCop
I don't think there's any equivalence between criminals who steal cars and fire guns at homes (which is who the CCTV cameras will primarily target) and motorists going a few kms over the speed limit. Also, the City's cost for the new cameras is $350,000 all-in.

It is Day 3 of Concussion Awareness week and Rowan’s Law Day. 💜 Rowan’s Law Day in Ontario is a day dedicated to concussion awareness and safety in honour of Rowan Stringer, a 17-year-old athlete who passed away after sustaining multiple concussions during sport.

If designed inclusively, cycling infrastructure offers independent mobility to those with physical impairments left behind by car dependence. For many housebound or reliant on others for transport, two—or three—wheels aren’t just a form of movement, they’re a form of empowerment.
