Richard Southern -
WATCH - I ask Premier Ford why he saying “No” to 21 Ontario mayors who are calling for a compromise on speed cameras. They are asking for them to remain in school zones, but to only operate during school hours, and to only ticket drivers going well over the limit. #cdnpoli

70,000 tickets means speed cameras are working and shows the extent of the problem that Ford has no intent of solving while his hands drip with the blood of children . Fking inhuman Republican

I am content to wait as the pain increases in America & local resistance rises - fascists in the streets, some are already getting increased healthcare bills etc - I am content to wait until Trump needs a "win " that only Canada can provide as it's largest trading partner

I admire your tenacity and do see your point but CBC has a systematic way of reporting and associating links so I will not fault them too much, especially as they are far better than many others .

And yes they have reported on the cases EG

To those who oppose MAGA-ICE . Take heart

You're broken down and tired
Of living life on a merry go round
And you can't find the fighter
But I see it in you so we gonna walk it out
And move mountains
We gonna walk it out
And move mountains

There are always those who criticize the man in the arena, most never having accomplished anything of merit or worth remembering, while forgetting what it took to get a deal with a non hostile, non lunatic America prior to this .

I am not particularly concerned about those who do not care enough to make a trivial effort to get informed about such a significant cause as those are the people who make no effort to change anything, until it impacts them . I can't blame the CBC for apathy

It is obvious that the Not Withstanding Clause has been misused by Quebec , Saskatchewan and Ontario - there may be more examples - for racist and anti-worker reasons , to limit human rights

Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerer of death's construction
In the fields, the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
