I don't agree with what you are saying. I think most people most of the time drive well. Time after time I hear reports from the MOT saying Ontario roads are the safest in North America.

The problem we have is that the Police, Politicians, and the Media are in a partnership to create Machiavellian laws with vindictive and financially crippling fines for an ever increasing number of offenses. Sure fines for distracted driving I agree with. BUT they must apply to every driver! Just tonite I was beside a transit security officer diddling with his computer while stopped at a red light. Cops in Toronto are staked out at intersections dressed as construction workers handing out $300+ tickets to John or Jane Q. public for checking their texts at a stoplight. Why the double standard? Street racing? WTF. It was based on an incident where a guy named Manchester was killed along with his wife by so called street racers. Turns out the idiot was 3x over the BAC legal limit and the "street racers" weren't really street racing.

Are ex Ontario Alcoholic Attorney General was grandstanding at one time with street racers cars being crushed in a photo op.

Well, guess what he ends up doing? Getting into a minor mix up with a cyclist, and because of his status thinks he can drag the guy around Bloor street risking other drivers and pedestrians up until the point the he peels the guy off the side of his car by hitting a mail box. Good old MB doesn't even need to go through the inconvenience of a trial. Mike just hires a PR firm (navigator) that holds a trial in the press.

Lets relax a whole slew of laws in Canada so that the average guy is not fined and or jailed for doing the same things as cops and politicians that don't seem to have the same level of enforcement focused on them .
I agree. Wish I would still be alive when the people wake up and rage against the machine.
