Sarcasm doesn't become you.
So is most of North America.
Where is the relevant data to support this statement?

No, the stats only go up to 1997. They still show a relevant historical comparison, and I highly doubt any of those countries had a massive increase in annual pedestrian deaths in the following years.

Pretty colours. Which statement? I'll bet the World has changed significantly in 12 years. Better to take that Canadian flag out of your arse and face reality.

Your statement which was highlighted in the same colour. Yes, some of the world has changed in 12 years, but you still haven't proved your assertion that Ontario has one of the highest pedestrian fatality rates in the World. Twice that of France (per capita) and they have they highest in Europe

I don't have a Canadian flag stuck anywhere yet, and I am facing reality. Perhaps you'd like to share your personal experience of living in Ontario and how long you've been here.

Maybe so, but i've honestly never noticed before. I remember going to Toronto for the first time almost 20 years ago. I smoked at the time and i couldn't find somewhere to put my cigarette out! I stood in the street scanning around to find a drain...then this lady pointed to a sand box, i thought i'd get arrested if i chucked it on the street.

I wonder, if they don't smoke, how do the unhyphenated go about choosing cars. I like those in which one can comfortably smoke at sixty mph with the top down.

That solves the mystery of the soft top beetle then.

Winter car, innit. We moved from the city to the back of beyond so I traded the Mustang for a Beetle in order to be able to deal with severe weather.
