I think everyone posting in the thread needs to get on the same page fast or this will be yet another pointless argument.
Someone please find the number of yearly fatalities in Hamilton due to Car vs Pedestrian. And compare it to the national average. The stats that BCTed just posted seem to include all motor vehicle collisions. Which doesn't apply in this case because we should all be talking about pedestrian fatalities.
Also, I don't know what this number of 14 traffic deaths in Hamilton this year means. Are they also including Car vs Car and highway deaths? Or is this stat saying "14 people were walking in the streets in hamilton and they were hit by cars and killed, this year"

with all due respect, I could care less what the national average is.
People being killed by walking down the street or legally riding their bike is UNACCEPTABLE. If another city is worse than us, too bad for them. I'm not interested in always trying to find someone worse to compare to.
