    The rising fatality figures come one day after the public learned a teenage skateboarder had died after colliding with an SUV last week.

    The teen didn’t collide with the SUV … the SUV hit and killed the teen.

    Ban SUVs and pickup trucks.

      Full sized SUVs. Crossovers and midsized are fine.

        As long as they are small enough to not get the"commercial" vehicle exception for pedestrian safety.US laws that I guess also affect Canadians…

    So let’s say Alberta separates from Canada… Who would they be asking for this money?

      They’d have the billions in equalization payments I’d assume? I think it was around 4b last year.

    But they designed their city so that this would happen. Cities are for cars, not for pedestrians.
