It’s unconscionable to remove ASE an effective tool that improves road safety & saves lives. Research in Canada & internationally show a significant reduction in speed using ASEs. There are 100's of experts who can work with the ON gov't to adapt the legislation. Let us. #ParachuteVZ

“This is nothing but a tax grab.” Astonishing statement given the strength of the evidence that ASE works & the number of cities around the globe who have seen the lives saved. Follow the science, right @brenttoderian.bsky.social?

Trigger warning.
“In crashes, SUVs are more likely to strike vital organs in the core of adults’ bodies & heads of children. Hitting pedestrians above their center of gravity means they’re more likely to be knocked forward & down and then be driven over.”
Plus more likely to hit in the 1st place.

Our attitudes about aging, and our biases against older people, affect so much, including efforts to prevent falls.

Canada is aging rapidly. By 2030, 1 in 4 Canadians will be over 65. Despite being the fastest-growing demographic, older persons are too often sidelined. Check out what my colleagues at the Canadian Coalition Against Ageism are doing at lnkd.in/gsCZHZzd. This isn’t a future issue – it’s a NOW issue.
