Ontario Helmet Law being pushed through
The law would apply to people who skateboard, ride scooters or in-line
skate. Apparently they have decided to leave adult cyclists alone for now. http://www.pulse24.com/News/Top_Stor...4-009/page.asp My favourite part: "That includes N.D.P. MPP Michael Prue, who lost his brother to a bike accident in 1998. “There isn't a day goes by that I don't see someone on the streets of Toronto, an adult, with no helmet on their head, and I want to get out of my car or off the sidewalk and I want to grab them and I want to shake them,” he reflects. “I want to tell them that this was an absolutely wrong thing, a bad thing to happen." -- "Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber-barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber- baron's cruelty may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis |
