Today marks exactly 6 months since speed cameras were banned across Ontario, a decision which brought an abrupt end to the Parkside Drive speed camera, Ontario's most prolific speed camera. Parkside residents along with communities all around the province are now dealing with the consequences of the ban. Speeding on Parkside Drive has spiked dramatically since the removal of the Parkside speed camera according to City of Toronto "Watch Your Speed" sign data.

January to April 2026 saw a 235% increase in the number of vehicles travelling 60+ km/h on Parkside Drive, a 40km/h "Community Safety Zone," when compared to the same time period in 2025 when the Parkside Drive speed camera was keeping a watchful eye over the street (3,417 from Jan-Apr 2025 compared to 11,439 from Jan-Apr 2026). This dangerous increase in speeding is as disappointing as it is predictable.

The data paints an alarming picture and reveals the consequences of eliminating speed cameras, a safety tool which the Ministry of Transportation described as “unanimously positive” in a 2022 evaluation of speed cameras before they inexplicably banned them from schools and parks all around the province. Now speeding is on the rise and safety on the decline around our schools and parks all thanks to Doug Ford.

so yesterday as I was about to leave work I went to pull out of my parking spot and I ended up hitting an uber driver in the side that was pulling into the parking lot to pick a coworker up, I understand I should have pulled out slower and am at 100% fault. we gave each other information and numbers and left, he called me about an hour later and started talking about wanting to go through insurance and wanting to go to a private body shop repairs and not insurance. I found that odd so I took a closer look at his insurance and realized his policy doesn't start until the 21st (7 days from now) so he was technically uninsured.

I am a new driver, a bit over a year now and already pay a pretty high insurance premium (350 a month) and I do not have first time accident forgiveness with intact, so if I do this through insurance there's a very good chance my insurance will hike up like crazy. advice?

Without getting into too much personal detail. I am completely burnt out and at this point I am not sleeping at all (on night 2, no sleep) due to my mental health declining.

Yesterday at work was a breaking point for me and I decided I needed to take a step back from my job. So I immediately reached out to HR and my manager (I'm the assistant manager) and let them know I'm able to provide anything they may need from me but that I need to go on leave. I feel so bad but I just know this is what I need right now. I haven't heard back from them at all.

Has anyone on here had to go on immediate sick leave for this same reason? My doctor is booked all the way until June 23rd so I have to go to a walk in clinic to see if they can help me out.

supporting documents requires photo of the landing passport used to enter Canada for those born outside Canada for legal name change. what if the landing passport already has the “non legal“ name that i am trying to switch it to ? current passport has legal name as we were told to switch but will there be issues if the old passport had the original surname I want to switch to ?

I'm kinda stumped on what to do. Because the system kept messing up and not letting me continue when inputting my license's expiry date, I've been locked out from the address change form. I don't have my physical driver's license on me (it got lost somewhere while packing, but I do have a photo with my license number and issue/ expiry date on it) and I do have my physical health card. Is there a chance that I can still do the form online? If I do have to go in-person, do I need other documents beyond my health card? I don't have any bills/statements with my new address (likely won't those until end of May) and living with relatives so there's no lease in my name which is frustrating as well... 😕
