Bully Dog Ford theatens to remove speed cameras in provincial cities as “they are a cashgrab.”
First, we can only hope every mayor whose municipal authority is threatened by the quack at Queen’s Park should fight back and balk at this autocratic move by the premier. Hopefully, he has no authority to enact policies or modify anything that should be recognized at not within his jurisdiction. Cities should be governed by locally elected officials not some boar in the provincial legislature.
Secondly, Dog Ford should do some homework. A little research will confirm that speed camera are safety devices. Read the speed camera articles in BOOKz, COOKz, NOOKz, to learn that speed camera are NOT a cash grab. They are safety devices that save lives, save people money and add to the safety and security of any city’s residents where speed cameras are installed.
Cash grab? Oh please….don’t break the law, abide by the posted speed limit and the restriction doesn’t apply to any driver who drives by the rules of the road. Cash grab? Balderdash. Don’t speed, dont pay. Cash grab…ok speed and you pay and the city revenues increase, but the camera are there to reduce speeding. If the cities benefit from law violators, good. But the cameras earn no money from law abding citizens.
Cash grab? No Doggie….they are to reduce the number of speeding drivers and that’s what they do. Stand by the side of the road with speed cameras and watch how the traffic slows. You won’t hear the chime af any cash register. You will just see drivers going slower than they would if no cameras were there.Â
So let’s cut out the crap. Camera benefit every resident who lives in a speed camera monitored roadway neighborhood.
So Doggie Ford, mind your own business, not the business of other jurisdictions and do a little homework before you growl at everybody with your autocratic bully threats.
