Ashok Argent–KatwalaIf I called the relevant police division and said someone hit me with a 32oz baseball bat, I bet they wouldn’t tell me to report it in person at a designated “hitting people with baseball bats” reporting centre.Being annoyed at a pedestrian crossing with the right of way when you’re in slow moving traffic, and they shout at you to stop, you do and then you decide to go anyway & floor it and they’re dead-centre of your car should be attempted fucking murder and I’m all the way annoyed.<a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/walkTO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#walkTO</a>

Ashok Argent–KatwalaIt should be a lot easier to report assault by motor vehicles in Toronto.In any other circumstance, if I deliberately hit you with a two tonne object, with obvious intent to hurt you, I expect it would be taken more seriously.<a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/walkTO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#walkTO</a>

Cameron MacLeodPsychology Today: “Boring Cities Bore People”By building car-centric neighborhoods …we force people to trek long distances to get what they need.…the same with leisure, recreation, dining or connection to cultural events. By disconnecting these activities from where we live, making them only accessible by car, we rob ourselves of the opportunity to connect with each other. And a life without meaningful connection is a boring life.”<a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/the-engaged-mind/202410/boring-cities-bore-people" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/the-engaged-mind/202410/boring-cities-bore-people</a><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/BikeTO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BikeTO</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/WalkTO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WalkTO</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/TOPoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TOPoli</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/ONPoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ONPoli</a>

Ashok Argent–KatwalaWe should learn from the UK, where many forces have done this for years.To get to <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/VisionZero" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VisionZero</a> in Toronto, we must prosecute bad drivers based on evidence from the general public. I have many pictures & footage; I’d absolutely show up in court.If the city may not, ON & CA should allow it.When I’ve asked police and elected officials why we can’t do that here, they’ve been nonplussed.
