1 Jump in Alcohol Related Deaths on Eastern Ontario Roads Monday, January 4, 2010
WHEN YOU COMPARE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE KIILED IN ALL CANADIAN TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS IT IS VERY VERY INSIGNFICANT NOW in direct comparison as to how many persons, about 225,000 Canadian patients a year suffer from hospital-acquired infections that substantially extend their stays, and note this between 8,000 and 12,000 people in Canada die annually as a result of infection with common but dangerous infections – C. difficile, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) – The infections C. difficile, MRSA and VRE – are not airborne, but spread by contact. But still yet the police make a lot of noise about number of deaths caused by vehicular speeding..why? It seems the Police would be better used in Hospitals instead. Yes likely the main reason that Hospital roommates increase the risk of infection is that patients share a washroom. (The mantra in infection control is: One bum per toilet.) Another likely explanation involves inadequate handwashing by patients and health professionals alike; doctors and nurses sometimes don’t wash their hands between patient visits in a single room. in the meantime, there are things we can do: We should be cleaning our hands, and we should really scrutinize how we clean our hospitals. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/private-hospital-rooms-lower-risk-of-c-difficile/article1420448/
Ex Toronto police chief Julian Fantino is one of those bad apples and we know we do have too many bad cops in Canada too.. HE HAD LIED AS TO THE REASONS MANY PEOPLE HAVE CAR ACCIDENTS, HE SAID FALSELY IT WAS SPEEDING AND HE LEFT OUT ALCOHOL AND WHY? TOO MANY COPS ARE ALCOHOLICS?
Speeding is not the major cause of car accidents road rage, impaired driving is, but speeding is a hidden tax, a good, easy money generator
Ontario Provincial Police report a 50 per cent increase in alcohol related deaths on eastern Ontario roads in 2009. Because more people drink alcohol these days too.. 12 people were killed in alcohol related collisions last year, up from eight in 2008.
OPP Sgt. Kristine Rae says there is no reason for the increase. Rae tells CFRA News residents are aware that drinking and driving is “not acceptable.” and yet alcoholics still like to drive their cars…. so the laws have to be enforced all year too..
The OPP does report the number of fatal collisions on eastern Ontario roads have dropped by 28 per cent since 2007 and have all these fatal collisions been caused by drunk drivers too? or by bad drivers, road rage, speeding, cell phone users, icy roads..
BAD Police Statistics LIKE THIS ARE NOT ONLY USELESS BUT MISLEADING..
Now let the police give us real, valid figures..
- The total number of accidents caused by alcohol had led to how many deaths in Ontario last year?
- OPP had laid how many impaired driving charges last year.
- and how many drivers received a three-day licence suspension and how many drivers were handed administrative licence suspensions for drinking and driving.
- The spot checks also resulted in how many other charges that fell under one of three categories — Liquor Licence Act, Highway Traffic Act and Criminal Code violation.
and how many police officers were also now charged fo drunk driving?
and the main reason the police cannot give us all the real statistics figures on the total number of the accidents and causes is the lazy, pretentious OPP police have not done detailed accident reports in each accident, but they still took the pay for it?
Here also is what I also cannot understand, real alcoholics are alcoholics all year and drive all year too impaired.. so why does the OPP police not target drunk drivers all year like they target speeding drivers all year ?
Ontario Provincial Police officers checked more than 1.1 million vehicles in Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere (RIDE) spotchecks across the province during the Christmas season only.
A total of 5,329 charges were laid from Nov. 27 to Jan. 4, 298 being for impaired driving, blowing over, or refusing to provide a breath sample. The balance were for other Criminal Code, Highway Traffic Act or Liquor Licence Act offences.
A total of 709 driving-licence suspensions were issued to motorists who had a blood alcohol concentration in the .05-.08 range.
During the same period in 2008, 884,729 vehicles were checked. A total of 319 arrests were made for Criminal Code alcohol-related offences.
and the figures for the rest of the year??? are where?
