If it's tax grab problem he could decree that the $$ (after expenses) should got to the Province not the municipality or to a fund to reduce municipal taxes or to fund hospitals. Speed cameras DO take money from 'hard working people' but they take money from people who have broken the law. Why is he not removing all Provincial income taxes - they also 'penalise hard working people' too. It is, frankly, bizarre!What a foolish man Mr Ford can be...

We know this isn't true because Ford and his MPPs are anything but hard working

Hard at work on the gas pedal perhaps. I am going to use the old mantra Ford and his type loves to use on rule violators - "If you haven't done anything wrong, you have nothing to fear."
Perhaps his government should hire a couple of those photo cameras and have them work as ministers, because lord knows those cameras are damned productive.

Oh look: https://globalnews.ca/news/11467026/ford-government-vehicle-stunt-driving/
I guess they increased the stunt driving penalties to "don't do it again"

Ok, I have a question.............
If the Premier/Minister's vehicles are routinely recorded running at high or very high speeds..............why does every press conference start 20 minutes late?
Just asking....

Why doesn't Doug Ford follow Vladimir Putin example in issuing Doug's loyal MPP's (and other VIPs) flashing blue lights, so they can bypass any or all Ontario's traffic regulations entirely.

Once again, I'm curious. I will assume, perhaps wrongly, that speeds in the area of 150-162 kmh did not occur on municipal roads where enforcement cameras are. I'm not aware that 407 receivers directly capture speed; although it would be possible to do some time/distance math between stations. So I'm left with on board GPS tracking, and am wondering what ministry does that. I know OPP vehicles are so tracked, and an alarm alerts in the Comcentre if a threshold is exceeded (I forget what it is). Perhaps other enforcement vehicles do as well (MTO, etc.) but I have a hard time envisioning a ministry have a 'ping' system set up for administrative vehicles.

The most egregious ticket the cameras have given out so far is 187 in a 50 zone, according to Barbara Gray at City Council today. At Midland and Montgomery, January 25, 10 p.m.

That's nuts. Any indication it was an Ontario government vehicle?

No, she just gave the highest speed recorded by an automated speed camera in the city

They have given out tens of thousands of tickets (hundreds of thousands?), so the chance that the highest one was a provincial government vehicle is pretty small. I suspect it was a kid driving his dad's Porsche.
