Walking in Waterloo Region

Even if marijuana was the proximate cause of this collision, I believe that it is clear this person should not have been driving. Anyone with a record like this is not safe on our roads. And if we had road safety standards to keep dangerous drivers off the road, and reasonable alternatives to make it feasible for people to not drive, then this enormous tragedy could have been avoided.

Amen. It’s way too hard to obtain a permanent driving ban. I’m not sure what happens if somebody drives while under a permanent driving ban, but it should be sufficient prison time that it’s impossible to be caught driving under a permanent ban more than a handful of times without being really good at escaping from prison.
