Why is the number so high
This from a paper in a country where there’s about 5 mass shootings a day?
and what can be done about it?
Reliable commuter rail.
Canada does not have five mass shootings a day.
They might mean that the Citizen is US-owned.
A local politicians kid or two dying would probably do it.
Given that we’re talking about traffic deaths, I’m not sure even that would be sufficient.
If a few kids from politicians were killed in said traffic deaths it might. Nothing else is going to do it that’s for sure.
Why would a politician’s child be walking around in a poor neighborhood where traffic deaths are common.
Every politician has a publicly funded family doctor while 30% of average Canadians have no access to one.
And most of those same politicians can afford to pay for private doctors unlike the majority of their doctorless constituents.
I didn’t say they would be, I said the only way they’ll actually do anything is if it happens.
Easy I’m just elaborating on your point and pointing out the problems in our “democratic” system.
Humanity as a whole seems to have decided that traffic deaths are an inevitable consequence of modern city living (regardless of whether that’s actually true or not). I don’t think a handful of politicians deciding otherwise would move the needle much.
10 more than the last 10 years, its late in the year. Yes its a 30% increase but carnage? Also linking to an american owned paper.
Let’s not do this to each other
