Ontario’s decision to kill speed cameras puts Ford at odds with some municipalities, police

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says his government is outlawing speed cameras across the province, a decision that puts him at odds with many municipalities and police forces who say the devices are needed to protect vulnerable residents such as children.

The announcement was made Thursday in Vaughan, Ont., north of Toronto, where Mayor Steven Del Duca has already dropped the cameras after Mr. Ford criticized them as punitive for taxpayers.
