The amount of vehicular fatalities has not dropped much if at all despite all cars being a large amount safer than they were even 10 years ago.

Yeah, good point. Well, except that it is not true at all. They are down significantly in the US. From about 43,000 in 2002, to 34,000 in 2012 (the last full year there are stats available. Even though the population increased from 288 million to 314 million during that time. So they are down about 30-40% during that time period. I'd assume Canada would be similar.
