Toronto is not installing any new PXOs and only now installs MPS' (Midblock Pedestrian Signals). Mississauga has zero PXOs. The general policy in all municipalities that I know of is to install MPS' instead of PXOs.

The recently revised Ontario Traffic Manual Book 15 provides for a new version of PXOs which omits the amber flashing beacon and is instead enhanced pavement markings and signage plans to better deliniate pedestrian crossing spaces. Highway Traffic Act amendments are required to make the new standard a legal treatment.

Again, my point was not that PXOs are good or bad. My point was that Hamilton is not the only municipality to discontinue their use, and to paint the picture that we are, due to the nefarious machinations of Hart Solomon, is misleading at best. In fact it is a reverse form of the Hamilton exceptionalism syndrome. In normal form it sounds like "But that won't work because this is Hamilton." In this case, it sounds like "But we don't have that because this is Hamilton."

The world will make more sense to you, Capitalist, when you start seeing a world full of people instead of cardboard stereotypes.
