Doug Ford like to talk tough on crime, except when it comes to lawbreaking motorists who illegally increase the risk of your kid being killed by a car.
Terrible idea from a terrible premier!
Speed cameras are among the best ways to make roads safer, especially around schools.
Time for the people, organizations, health care providers & politicians who want safer streets to step up and vocalize their opposition to this

Doug Ford will outlaw municipal speed cameras this fall: sources
Sources say Ford's Progressive Conservatives will table legislation later this fall to outlaw the "automated speed enforcement" devices.

Finished two great books this week. I know I'm a bit late with both of these but if you haven't already read them, "There There" by Tommy Orange and "Memorial Drive" by Natasha Trethewey are excellent reads. Highly recommend. #CanadaReads
