“Clearly, if the point of speed cameras is to slow down drivers, they are failing miserably. They’re cash grabs, pure and simple." www.thestar.com/politics/pro...

Municipalities took a good idea, completely gummed up its execution, and now promise to do better if only given another chance. And we wonder why faith in institutions is eroding... www.thestar.com/news/gta/20-...
"Have you noticed that making friends or maintaining relationships in adulthood seems more like a chore? Why does it seem like there’s a heightened sense of loneliness and division as of late?"
From speed cameras (one regional councillor says we should pause expansion) to road salt (we use too much), and the latest on Living Retired, we've got plenty to discuss today between 9-1 on 570 NewsRadio. Listen live: kitchener.citynews.ca/audio/
A regional councillor wants speed cameras stopped now, and why is a local school board trustee talking about Charlie Kirk? Plus, Canada's fiscal precipice, the division series bound Blue Jays, and roundabout safety. It's all on 570 NewsRadio from 9-1! Listen live: kitchener.citynews.ca/audio/
I'm most flummoxed by the unwillingness to admit the real problem. Once kids get to school, they're in classrooms or, for brief periods on a schoolyard (often fenced). So when are these kids at greatest risk? Going to and from school. And who are the drivers in school neighbourhoods at that time?
This AM on 570 NewsRadio: 📷: Regional councillor calls for pause in speed camera program re: Ford's pending ban 🎙️: 340K new waste, green carts set to roll out across Waterloo Region 🚓: Fourth arrest made in Kitchener spring-time shooting 💵: Ontario Minimum wage now $17.60/hr
The roads where the region put cameras are already slow enough. Want some cameras on Homer-Watson? Cool, go for it. That's where high speed, reckless drivers are operating.
The region put cameras on roads where there had never been a collision and collected revenue under the guise of safety. That makes it a revenue tool the region made, not me.
As Premier Ford noted at his news conference last week, Ontario has ranked in the Top 5 jurisdictions for road safety for 25 years. Some of our investments must be working.
I mean, who wouldn't say yes to something they thought was making a school zone safer? I think the answer would have been different, though, if they were asked if the cameras should operate even outside of school times.
Waterloo Region District School Board trustee Cindy Watson attempted to officially pay respect to Charlie Kirk. Trustee Mike Ramsay backed her up. Chair called it "inappropriate" & out of order.
This was at the beginning of Monday night's school board meeting in Kitchener, Ontario, CANADA.
Our municipalities have 80% or more of employees working on-site in offices, except the Region, which only has about 60%. But that's changing in December. www.therecord.com/news/waterlo...
It's a good day to listen. So, why not join us on 570 NewsRadio from 9-1? We're talking about a former residential school turned museum, the Orange Shirt story, and National Drive Electric Month. Listen live: kitchener.citynews.ca/audio/
