While most of us are enjoying Thanksgiving (or struggling thru the grief of a holiday after a loved one was killed), Ontario's govt wants to strip away speed safety cameras in school zones.

Call Doug Ford 416-325-1941 and Prabmeet Sarkaria 416-327-9200. Tell em to keep the speed safety cameras ON!

The data on #Bikelanes are clear & consistent: GREAT for cities in just about every metric you can think of. So why are politicians across Canada attacking them? We dig in with @bikecalgary.bsky.social's Doug Clark & Alyssa Quinney

"Cities in North America all caught the same mania of city building where you just try to stuff as many cars through a downtown as you can rather than making places people wanted to actually spend time in. Cities are better when you're not just racing through them in your own enclosed metal box."

Well, well, well. 👀

Thanks to our faithful documentarian @jnyyz.bsky.social for writing about today's 'Circle the Strollers' event with Parents Against Speeding TO.

Leave the speed camera ON because they're saving lives!

"When a child is killed by a motorist, it is the worst pain that can possibly be inflicted on a parent, because it is predictable and preventable," she said.

"The safety of children for any adult leader in a position of power should be a very high priority, and to intentionally move backwards on safety in school zones or anywhere is a horrible thing to do" said Jess Spieker of Friends and Families for Safe Streets, which also helped organize the protest.

An automated speed enforcement camera was surrounded by a "symbolic" circle of strollers, at a rally held by parents on Saturday.

The gathering was dubbed a "peaceful stroller protest" by organizer Parents Against Speeding TO.

✅Bring your strollers

I got doored 12 years ago now. I was moving at a fast clip along a main road. I sustained a concussion, broke my nose, fractured my elbow, sprained my wrist and my knee and sustained multiple lacerations. You bet it matters, the asshole should've been charged, but like a coward, he took off.

Demo on Saturday. Take to the streets. It’s the only way. Same will be done for the bike lanes when the time comes.

To be clear for our supporters, this event will be held around the speed camera near 1492 Bloor St W.

(Toronto, charmingly, has TWO intersections of Bloor and Dundas.)

Thank you for the signal boost! 🙏

Toronto ASSEMBLE!

📢DIRECT ACTION ALERT! SHARE WIDELY!
Join us to "circle the strollers" around the speed camera at Bloor and Dundas to protest our Premier's reckless attack on road safety. Tens of thousands of kids will be defenseless against speeding drivers in school zones!!

There are two upcoming events which the #BikeTO community should take note of. The first is a direct action from @ffsafestreets.bsky.social on Saturday, October 4 to protest Doug Ford's speed camera ban. Meet 10 AM at Dundas & Bloor. #WalkTO #TOpoli #VisionZero www.facebook.com/events/11264...

As if minimal punishments when killing or seriously injuring pedestrians or cyclists weren't bad enough, what's even more infuriating is how many cases get thrown out because of an overwhelmed court system! #shame #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli CC @ffsafestreets.bsky.social www.thestar.com/news/gta/she...

#ICYMI Infrastructure and Environment Committee - September 26, 2025

Watch our spox Kendrew Pape bravely share his story of losing his sister, struck in a crosswalk by a reckless speeding driver. If Doug Ford follows through replacing speed cameras with useless signs, more people will die.
Watch Kendrew's full speech at this link: www.youtube.com/live/KcFHHKL...

Watch our spox Kendrew Pape speak about the excruciating loss of his sister Kim, mother of 3, who was killed by a reckless driver in a crosswalk. Doug Ford's war on road safety, replacing effective speed cameras with useless signs, is going to result in more death.

Having to follow laws meant to keep people, including kids and families, FROM BEING KILLED, feels like “bullying” to some people who frequently and blatantly break those laws.

Guess what I think of that.
