As an example just the other day I was attempting to make a right turn on a red light, which is perfectly legal in this province. As I was about to turn, a reckless young woman attempted to bolt across the road in front of me, with her small children. She no doubt thought having the green light gave her some special privilege.

I prudently accelerated before they got to me and spun safely around the corner, narrowly avoiding a collision with her baby carriage, which would surely have caused considerable damage to my vehicle and subsequently raised my insurance rates.

Later that same day I parked on the sidewalk in front of a variety store and ran in for a pack of smokes. I came back out just as an inconsiderate pedestrian brushed up against my car bending the side mirror out of alignment. (He could very easily have used the road or crossed to the other side of the street.) I was then forced to spend precious time readjusting my mirror.

I caught up to this person further down the block, lowered my window and berated him for his inconsiderate actions. The selfish scoundrel showed his true dangerous nature by making a threatening gesture towards me with his cane.

Most of these pedestrian types go about in the winter with foreign looking headgear and I wouldn't be surprised if some of them had connections to subversive political organizations. What I'd like to know is when will our politicians take action against this sort of cavalier disregard for the rights of personal property.

Mr. Harris made a good start banning those squeegee kids, but more needs to be done. Finish the job Mr. Eves-make this province safe for tax paying motorists. Ban pedestrians.
