Child in Calgary: dead.
Child in Spruce Grove: dead.
Killed by pickup trucks in their own neighbourhood.
Because the big oversized pickup truck with the aggressive front that you absolutely need because reasons that makes you feel big and powerful when you drive it doesn’t allow you to see in front of you.
So today’s pickup trucks kill people.
Today’s pickup trucks kill children.
When will your pickup kill someone?
Whose child will you pickup kill?
Perhaps you think it’s unlikely because you’re a ‘good driver’.
I’m sure the drivers who just killed children thought so too.

All while the governments of Alberta and Ontario are actively fighting cities that want to have protected bike lanes. Carnage is fine, as long as it’s done by cars and trucks.
