It’s unconscionable to remove ASE an effective tool that improves road safety & saves lives. Research in Canada & internationally show a significant reduction in speed using ASEs. There are 100's of experts who can work with the ON gov't to adapt the legislation. Let us. #ParachuteVZ

“This is nothing but a tax grab.” Astonishing statement given the strength of the evidence that ASE works & the number of cities around the globe who have seen the lives saved. Follow the science, right @brenttoderian.bsky.social?

Trigger warning.
“In crashes, SUVs are more likely to strike vital organs in the core of adults’ bodies & heads of children. Hitting pedestrians above their center of gravity means they’re more likely to be knocked forward & down and then be driven over.”
Plus more likely to hit in the 1st place.
“When mayors in other cities ask me how #Copenhagen afforded to invest in its cycling networks, I ask them how on earth they have been able to afford highway projects. We invested in bike lanes because that was the cheapest option.”

Dr. Theresa Tam nails it when it comes to public health and the importance of prevention: it’s not a budget line, it’s an investment. Prevention is cost effective, supports health and wellbeing, and reduces costs on the health system and the workforce.

Safe Kids Week 2025 is focused on #KidsAndConcussions. Concussion prevention, among young children, means preventing dangerous falls from high surfaces such as furniture, down stairs & out windows. Older children? more concussions occur during sports & recreation activities. Info at parachute.ca.
At KITE labs @uhntoronto.bsky.social. This spaceship-looking thing is in KITE’s Challenging Environment Assessment Laboratory. The base can move a module (this one's the stairs lab) through any combination of 3 translational degrees & 3 rotational degrees. i.e., it rocks in any direction. #CFPC2025
Three people sit in chairs on a stage with a low table in front of them on which there is a glass water jug and five water glasses. At left, a woman holding a mike with long straight brown hair, royal blue jacket, black pants; in midddle, a blonde woman with hair pulled into bun, pink sweater, black shirt and black pants. At right, a grey-haired man with glasses, navy suit, blue shirt, patterned tie.
Our attitudes about aging, and our biases against older people, affect so much, including efforts to prevent falls. Next up at #CFPC2025 is the panel Of a Certain Age: Ageism Awareness for a Brighter Tomorrow. "Ageism prevents prevention," says Jenna Wickens, CFS Counselling and Wellbeing (at left).
“Ageism prevents prevention” the #CFPC2025 panel on ageism.
Canada is aging rapidly. By 2030, 1 in 4 Canadians will be over 65. Despite being the fastest-growing demographic, older persons are too often sidelined. Check out what my colleagues at the Canadian Coalition Against Ageism are doing at lnkd.in/gsCZHZzd. This isn’t a future issue – it’s a NOW issue.
