Doug Ford banned speed cameras. The City of Ottawa posted the raw speed data from before and after the ban. This chart shows the percentage of drivers going 15km/h or more over the posted limit. (feddit.uk)

For anyone looking for more details on this, I highly recommend this video from Oh the Urbanity

It discusses this exact phenomenon in the data: speeding before and after the banning of automated enforcement cameras. It also argues effectively that the policy is inconsistent with Doug Ford’s platform of being “tough on crime”

They said "touch on crime" which I assumed related to the Epstein files but now that you mention it, a typo is probably more likely
