I'm all for safer roads but Canada isn't Mad Max. I guess "not being as bad as those places" is a low bar, but having driven in Peru, it's a bar I'm glad we easily clear.

Is death the metric to strive for? Obviously yes, dying while driving is the worst outcome. But the millions in economic losses from excessive collisions is also a problem.
