I don't know if you heard about the latest here in Toronto. Two teenagers from well-to-do families were racing their respective parents' Mercedes on a city street (Mt. Pleasant Ave.). The estimate is that they were going about 140 Km/hr (just under 90 Mph). One of them hit a taxi that was turning and killed the taxi driver. The kid was unhurt. On the seat beside one of the drivers was a video game called "Need for speed" (or something like that). So, here we go again. I guess the lawyers will once blame the video game. After all, after playing the video game, what the hell else could they have done. It's not like they had a choice.
The cab driver was a new Canadian who had passed the written exam for citizenship and was to be sworn in three days later. Then he was going to bring his family to Canada. he'd been working 6 days a week, 10 hours a day. It looks like he'll be granted citizenship posthumously.
If it were up to me, their families would be required to sponsor his family to come here and to foot the bill for any schooling for the kids, etc.
