That means reducing drunk, distracted, or sleep-deprived driving and, most important, preventing speeding. In addition, sensible traffic laws should be enforced on the basis of proven methods for instance, by speed-detecting radar and other technology used much more widely in some other countries.<br></font><div><font face="Times" style="font-size: 14px;"><a href="http://bit.ly/1HIfTkQ">http://bit.ly/1HIfTkQ</a></font></div><div><font face="Times"><br><span style="font-size: 14px;">---------------------------------------</span><br><span style="font-size: 14px;">---------------------------------------</span><br><br><b><font size="4" color="#00a3d7">George Lakoff: Framing progressive values and language to win the next election<br></font></b><span style="font-size: 14px;">54 min. podcast from the event in T.O. last week.

Adverse drug reaction is the fourth leading cause of death behind heart disease, cancer and stroke. And 62% of people taking prescription drugs are not fully informed about the most serious side effects by their doctors, with 10% of people actually experiencing a serious adverse drug reaction. But this should change with the passing of Bill C-17, Protecting Canadians from Unsafe Drugs Act, which officially became Vanessa’s Law when it received Royal Assent on November 5, 2014. When Vanessa’s Law is enforced, it will be one of the strongest pieces of legislation in the world for protecting people from unsafe prescription drugs. </font></div><div><font face="Times" style="font-size: 14px;"><a href="http://enforcevanessaslaw.ca/about-vanessas-law.html">http://enforcevanessaslaw.ca/about-vanessas-law.html</a></font></div><div><font face="Times" style="font-size: 14px;"><br></font></div><div><font face="Times" style="font-size: 14px;">---------------------------------------<br>---------------------------------------</font></div><div><font face="Times" style="font-size: 14px;"><br></font></div><div><font face="Times"><b><font size="4" color="#00a3d7">What did transit riders get in the ON budget?</font></b><br><span style="font-size: 14px;">The short answer is nothing now, the long answer is in the link: <a href="http://www.ttcriders.ca/what-did-riders-get-in-the-on-budget/">http://www.ttcriders.ca/what-did-riders-get-in-the-on-budget/</a></span><br><span style="font-size: 14px;">Take action this Monday April 27 with us.
