Every big project has so much secrecy with this gov't. Ontario Place. Metrolinx everything. Highway building.

Will we listen to his words today?

Cars, trucks & SUVs have become driver weapons. Sometimes intentionally, sometimes in the way streets & vehicles are designed. We should admit that we are very much OK w a certain amount of death & life-changing injuries in order to not inconvenience driving. My column this week. Pls read n share.
Shawn Micallef: Vehicles have become weapons by design — and public space is in their crosshairs
