In a statement, Vaughan Mayor Steven Del Duca pivoted from speed cameras to violent crime, suggesting we should spend more time focussing on the latter. That’s illuminating. Vehicles obviously present the bigger statistical threat, especially to children. But we accept those injuries and deaths.

I remember this speech when Jon Stewart gave it. It was powerful. And urgent. And 100% true. And like too many things over the last many years, it wasn’t taken nearly seriously enough.
🔥💯 Jon Stewart's prophecy from 2022:
"When a democracy is under threat: comedians are the ones who get sent away first. Authoritarians are the threat to comedy, to art, to music, to thought, to progress. It ain't the pronoun police, it's the Secret Police. It always has been & it always will be."
