Summary

78% Informative

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says his government is looking to change how automated speed enforcement ( ASE ) cameras are deployed as the devices are being used as a budgetary source, something he calls “a little unfair” Ford : “The city is using it as their revenue source, and it’s a real revenue opposed to safety”.

The Association of Municipalities of Ontario says the current regulations don’t fit rural municipalities.

The province is once again trying to “play mayor of Ontario instead of doing its job to promote road safety,” Creelman said.

“For a government that prides itself in cutting red tape and simplifying legislation, they seem to be going the opposite direction”.
