I was shocked by a stat I read in the Star earlier in the week:

"Denyse Boxell, a spokesperson for Safe Kids Canada, an initiative launched by the Hospital for Sick Children, said there are about 2,400 child pedestrian incidents in Canada each year. About 30 of those are fatal."

Why do we spend so much energy fighting gun crime or even cancer and heart disease and so little energy fighting for safer streets? The idea that a pedestrian death is somehow someone's 'fault' is ridiculous. Car accidents, pedestrian deaths, cyclist fatalities this is the real plague we should be fighting.
