      Given that we’re talking about traffic deaths, I’m not sure even that would be sufficient.

        If a few kids from politicians were killed in said traffic deaths it might. Nothing else is going to do it that’s for sure.

          Why would a politician’s child be walking around in a poor neighborhood where traffic deaths are common.

          Every politician has a publicly funded family doctor while 30% of average Canadians have no access to one.

          And most of those same politicians can afford to pay for private doctors unlike the majority of their doctorless constituents.

            I didn’t say they would be, I said the only way they’ll actually do anything is if it happens.

          Humanity as a whole seems to have decided that traffic deaths are an inevitable consequence of modern city living (regardless of whether that’s actually true or not). I don’t think a handful of politicians deciding otherwise would move the needle much.
