The city of Toronto could soon have a new tool in its battle against scofflaw drivers: noise cameras are up for discussion Thursday afternoon at city council’s monthly meeting.
Coun. Lily Cheng is introducing a motion at this week’s council meeting that calls on staff to look into bringing noise cameras to the streets of the city to catch drivers making excessive noise. She wants city staff to look into noise camera use in other jurisdictions to find out what technology works best.
Accompanying her motion is a letter of support with 264 signatures.
Where I live angry residents cornered a couple of motorcyclists who persistently revved their engines in our above ground parking lot – they love the Canyon echo effect.
They should have burned the cycles at the least.
Other persistent idiots still hang out at Apache and the Tim Hortons. I’m all for this.
Monday afternoon’s car attack in a pedestrian zone in Leipzig – a city celebrated for its Bach choir and its proud history of pro-democracy demonstrations before the fall of the Berlin Wall – has left two people dead and dozens injured. A 63-year-old woman and a 77-year-old man were killed, while three others are in a serious condition.
The suspect, a 33-year-old man born and raised in Leipzig, was arrested at the scene. Authorities were swift to announce he had no terrorist affiliations – a declaration greeted by some commentators almost as a relief. But the relief is premature. The hard questions are only just beginning.

An Air Canada passenger plane smashed into a rescue truck at New York’s LaGuardia Airport late Sunday — killing two pilots and hospitalizing 41 others in the horrific crash that obliterated the front of the jet and forced the major travel hub to close for most of Monday.
Emergency vehicles swarmed Runway 4 at the Queens airport after a regional jet landing from Montreal struck a rescue truck responding to a separate incident just before 11:40 p.m.
Horrific images showed the front of the commuter plane obliterated and tilted up in the air, with debris and cables hanging from the mangled cockpit.

Like many young people across Switzerland, Kenzo Ronnow, a university student in Lausanne, slept in on 1 January after celebrating the new year.
But as he scrolled through his phone soon after waking, he saw the lead story of a foreign news website was about Switzerland.
A fire had ripped through Le Constellation, a bar in Crans-Montana, an Alpine ski resort in Switzerland’s Valais canton and a customary haunt for New Year’s Eve revellers.
One of the two bar owners was on Friday taken into custody.
