A little off topic here, but the bigger story for me is that the Wynne Government explicitly stated before the election that reducing municipal speed limits was not on their radar screen and merely months into the new government they miraculously change their mind.

That tells me that the government knows that the vast majority of people oppose a reduction in speed limits, but in order to save their ass they are not brave enough to put the issue before the electorate.

This from the same Government that panders to the insurance industry.

Blaming the victim is classic insurance rhetoric. Like why do we have a $30,000.00 deductible. Or why if you are hit by a drunk driver in Ontario and break your leg and it heals you can't even sue unless the damage is permanent and serious. And even if it is permanent and serious they take away $30,000.00 from your claim - for what; To modify your behaviour so you won't walk while drunks are driving?

No one believes more firmly than Comrade Napoleon that all animals are equal. He would be only too happy to let you make your decisions for yourselves. But sometimes you might make the wrong decisions, comrades, and then where should we be? George Orwell
