In addition, if motorists quit stopping for jaywalkers, it would be much more dangerous for them. We have a culture in Canada that the second someone steps into the road regardless of where it is, vehicles should stop. As such, yeah, it's fairly safe for jaywalkers here. Travel to Mexico and take the same attitude; you'll wind up in a hospital.

I wouldn't say in Canada. Having grown up out east I can say that is definitely not the case there. Calgary is the only place I've really noticed it.
