This was a beautiful event, and I am happy to see Friends and Families for Safe Streets begin memorialising pedestrians taken too soon by traffic violence. They are planning more of these and could use your support and presence.

1/ I just called Ford AGAIN. I led with Ford's decision to imperil kids by removing speed cameras in school zones WHEN car speed is a known risk for SEVERE pedestrian injury Risk of severe injury: 37 km/hr = 25% 50 km/hr = 50% 63 km/hr = 75% Source: nacto.org/wp-content/u... Ford ☎️: 416 325-1941

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to everyone who attended our inaugural pedestrian memorial installation today. ❤️ Gigi should still be here enjoying life with her family. She is never forgotten.

My @thestar.com column: With Toronto cops facing a huge corruption scandal, it should be impossible for Mayor Olivia Chow and Toronto council to just rubber-stamp yet another big police budget increase today. The job of police reform is not done. Not by a longshot. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Was lucky to have been invited on to the Vancouver stop of @thewaroncars.bsky.social book tour this past Fall - They will be in Toronto this Thursday night - highly recommend going if you are in town. www.cycleto.ca/cars

Toronto! Tickets are now available to the general public for our live show on Thursday, February 5th at the Hot Docs Ted Rodgers Cinema, presented by @cycletoronto.bsky.social. Take that, Doug Ford! boxoffice.hotdocs.ca/websales/pag...

Breaking news. Absent local councillor still doesn't give a shit. Vote them out, term limits, whatever. Get this loser out of here. The state of the already terrifying sidewalk on Parkside drive. Fuck me I guess? Nothing can be done. @ffsafestreets.bsky.social

"The Ford govt is escalating its retreat from road safety. Bill 60, building on Bill 212 and championed by Sarkaria, would prohibit municipalities from reallocating vehicle lanes towards safer, more complete streets...These are choices that deliberately increase risk" www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

It’s the big day! The appeal hearing @cycletoronto.bsky.social’s successful Bill 212 case is being heard at Ontario’s Court of Appeal. Time permitting I’ll try and live post the proceedings, like I did for the Ottawa convey injunctions back when #lawtwitter was a thing.

Let’s use the snow to build protected intersections before the cars come back #walkto @ffsafestreets.bsky.social @shawnmicallef.bsky.social @rzaichkowski.bsky.social

"Jess S, a road safety advocate w/ @ffsafestreets.bsky.social, said she’s worried traffic safety around schools, where most cameras were installed, could suffer in 2026.“You're putting children at risk. I cannot wrap my mind around any rationale for something like that" 1/ www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Having a transportation system that results in violent death is not normal. This is a policy failure. This is all 100% preventable. The members of FFSS are battered, we are bruised, we are broken, we are bone-deep exhausted, and we will NEVER stop fighting until this senseless violence is ended.

My friend was hit in a crosswalk last week in #WalkTO - he is OK but went to hospital & has a concussion 🤕 I checked data... Turns out left turns account for 26% of injuries caused by collisions - pedestrian's had right of way in 24% of cases. So drivers are the problem! @ffsafestreets.bsky.social

The Compassionate Friends supports bereaved parents and grandparents. Today, our hearts are with every parent who has lost a child from road violence or any other cause. Child loss is the worst pain that life can inflict on any human being. Your children are not forgotten. You are not alone.

Uh oh, Ontario transportation minister Prabmeet Sarkaria liked this IntegrityTO video blaming bus lanes for car congestion…

Not surprised. Just heartbroken. 💔 @ffsafestreets.bsky.social #VisionZero

Excellent coverage of yesterday's World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims event. Thank you to everyone who joined us this year. We will never stop fighting until our streets are safe. #WDoR2025 #RememberSupportAct #SpeedKills #SpeedCamerasSaveLives www.thestar.com/news/gta/we-...

Thanks Jess of @ffsafestreets.bsky.social for hosting tonight's World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims at Queen's Park. My blog post about the event which about 40 people attended is now up. #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero #WDoR www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/2025/11/2025...

My good friend Jess reading out names of innocent ppl who have a lost their lives to road violence. Candles represent lives lost. It’s so wrong when our elected reps place the convenience of drivers over prioritizing the safety of vulnerable road users. via @ffsafestreets.bsky.social #WDoR2025

TODAY! Join us in front of Queen's Park. Gather at 4:30pm for a 5:00pm start. Show our leaders that the loved ones killed in car crashes are not forgotten and we will not stop fighting until our streets are safe. #WDoR2025

our crossing guards do mission impossible and I am so thankful for all of them, but JFC the fact that we need "Guards" to simply ensure drivers don't run over school children? This is what is so twisted about our auto obsessed culture that we don't even see how we've completely normalized this.

A crossing guard was killed by the driver of a dump truck yesterday. absolutely heartbreaking. Look at our intersections, look how hostile these are for people/children - this is what we continue to build and defend at all costs. These aren't accidents, these are results. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Speaking of, vivil in front of Doug's office on Sunday.

Join Parents Against Speeding and FFSS in a literal marathon walk (42km) in circles around Doug Ford's constituency office. We're going to show him that we're in it for the long haul, and this fight is NOT over. Join us for a few laps, or a few hours. 964 Albion Rd Etobicoke Anytime between 12-8pm

Join us Sun Nov 16 4:30pm at Queen's Park (South Lawn) for the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims. We are holding it at QP for the second year in a row because our govt continues to wage war on road safety, guaranteeing more violent death and devastation from car crashes.

World Day of Remembrance For Road Traffic Victims November 16, 2025 at 4.30pm Ceremony begins at 5pm QUEEN'S PARK SOUTH LAWN via @ffsafestreets.bsky.social #WDoR2025 #RememberSupportAct

LOCATION UPDATE: Queen's Park, South Lawn Gather 4:30pm for 5:00pm start Yes, we're holding it in front of QP again, because our provincial govt is trying to kill people again. They've killed speed safety cameras, and are about to ban lifesaving road re-allocation for road diets + complete streets.

Immense gratitude goes out to every parent who joined us and Parents Against Speeding on Oct 20, fighting for kids' safety. For over a year, our premier has been hell-bent on getting more people hurt and killed in preventable crashes. Now he's targeting kids. 😡 Keep speed safety cameras ON!!

Thank you to everyone who came out to tonight's ride and rally on the one-year anniversary of Bill 212. We're not done fighting to protect our streets and your rights. cc: @ffsafestreets.bsky.social @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social 📸: @jnyyz.bsky.social jnyyz.wordpress.com/2025/10/21/p...

LISTEN: Parents Against Speeding co-founder Tom speaks with Newstalk 1010 today about the reckless, horrible legislation coming to ban speed cameras across Ontario, and leave hundreds of thousands of kids defenceless against speeding drivers. www.iheart.com/podcast/962-...

Kudos to Parents Against Speeding for speaking up, not only for their own daughter, but for the safety of every kid in Ontario who will be defenceless against speeding drivers if speed safety cameras are turned off. www.torontotoday.ca/local/politi...

"Parent groups in Toronto, Vaughan, Midland, Kitchener-Waterloo and Ottawa are holding demonstration events Monday morning, while another group held a protest in Toronto's east end on Saturday." #OnPoli

“This is clearly anti-parent legislation, because speed cameras are primarily used in school zones to keep kids safe. It is baffling that our premier has chosen to attack a road safety measure that primarily is targeted to help little kids,” said our spox Jess Spieker www.thestar.com/news/gta/wit...

I wasn't able to attend the summit, but so glad that @ffsafestreets.bsky.social was representing LOUDLY! Spoke with a few #TorontoDanforth constituents that did attend, and they were buoyed by the factual reference that "Speed Kills" Keep ASE! Reduce School Zone Speeds! felt.com/map/Am-I-Nex...

School Zone Safety Summit happening at Toronto City Hall in support of automated speech enforcement program, including presentations from the VisionZero team and Dr Linda Rothman. Speed kills. And the risk isn't linear. It's quadratic. Thank you @ffsafestreets.bsky.social @mayoroliviachow.ca
