No clue what this little guy was doing hanging out in the flower boxes outside a pub in deepest darkest downtown Toronto. Must have gotten lost on the way to a park.

Protecting pedestrians, especially children and seniors from speeding and dangerous drivers is critical. I fully support speed cameras in our Community Safety Zones. One injury or death is one too many.

The Media is always quick to blame the “cyclist” for riding on a side walk, not coming to a complete stop at stop sign, but a driver injuring or killing vulnerable road users, the “car/truck/SUV” did it. We must protect the driver at all costs! Why?

The premier’s comments on Tuesday should be a moment for Ontarians to think whether the province is a place of law and order or where vigilantes can influence government policy.

As if the recent cutting down of speed cameras wasn't bad enough, now we have Ontario Premier Doug Ford urging Toronto to "Get rid of the speed cameras or I'm going to do it." Talk about zero vision regarding road safety!

IMO the biggest differences between universities are: - does the library have books (not only digital subscriptions) and a budget - are there staff for support/admin work or is it someone’s second job - do students have time to study and faculty time to teach No big names or tech matter as much.
