The war on pedestrians — Michael's essay

"The carnage of pedestrian deaths in our major cities and towns continues unabated. Last year, Toronto saw 40 deaths. Pedestrians are struck by cars at a rate of three a day. In one four-and-a-half hour period in 2018, 17 pedestrians were hit by cars. Last year set a record of pedestrian deaths in Montreal — 24. In BC, there were 49 pedestrian deaths. What is especially galling about these numbers is the fact that these terrible deaths were preventable.”
