100% this. Endless police $ isn’t the answer. Finland solved their homelessness problems by funding people not police. We can do the same if we want to. It starts by voting no on budgets that go against your beliefs and morals. Fund #PlacesForPeople

Bill 60 means that we will not be able to add cycle tracks to Albert and Slater Street or extend the O’Connor bike lane to Wellington Street. It’s an absurd overreach by the Ford government that will make all road users less safe and waste millions. I hate it here.

I've filtered Ottawa's traffic collision data to show only collisions with injuries for each year, and then added the speed camera locations present in those years.
