ACTUAL ONTARIO LAW: Speed Camera Ban (Passed Nov 14, 2025)
Status: PASSED – Cameras must be removed by November 14, 2025

What Ford’s government did:

• BANNED all automated speed cameras across Ontario (they were in school zones)
• Called them a “cash grab” – Toronto made $45M from fines in 2025
• Providing $210M for alternative traffic calming (speed bumps, flashing signs, roundabouts)
• Cameras reduced speeding by 45 % in school zones (SickKids study)
• Mayors, police chiefs, and parents are protesting the ban
  

The Question: Should Ford have banned the cameras, or should they stay?

Q1: How much does this ban affect you personally?
(There’s no right answer – this just helps us understand your perspective)
[ ] 1 – This directly impacts me (I got speed camera tickets)
[ ] 2 – This somewhat impacts me (I drive through school zones)
[ ] 3 – This barely impacts me (I rarely drive in those areas)
[ ] 4 – This doesn’t impact me much (I don’t drive often)
[ ] 5 – This worries me (I’m a parent/pedestrian concerned about speeding)

Q2: Speed cameras in school zones reduce speeding significantly, and that safety benefit outweighs concerns about them generating revenue.
1 = Strongly Agree  5 = Strongly Disagree
[ ] 1 [ ] 2 [ ] 3 [ ] 4 [ ] 5

Q3: Banning the cameras was the right choice – alternatives like speed bumps and flashing signs will work better.
1 = Strongly Agree  5 = Strongly Disagree
[ ] 1 [ ] 2 [ ] 3 [ ] 4 [ ] 5

Q4: When cities make millions from speed camera fines, it creates an incentive for unfair enforcement rather than actual safety.
(Toronto made $45M in 2025)
1 = Strongly Agree  5 = Strongly Disagree
[ ] 1 [ ] 2 [ ] 3 [ ] 4 [ ] 5

Q5: Ford giving $210 million for traffic calming alternatives is a better use of money than keeping the cameras.
1 = Strongly Agree  5 = Strongly Disagree
[ ] 1 [ ] 2 [ ] 3 [ ] 4 [ ] 5
