Interesting the opposition arguments, even when this passed in 2023: "... Opponents say they're concerned about odors, kids being traumatized and community health violations ..." Elsewhere on the boards, some folks suggest this sort of thing might be good as a way to teach more people - including youth - where food comes from and the natural order of things. We'll have to see how it continues to unfold, right?
Late add: More from both sides of the 2023 debate ...

Hamtramck used to be 100% Polish when I was a kid growing up in Windsor. My Mom knew a lot of people from their when she was younger, she grew up in a 90% Polish, 10% Irish neighborhood in Detroit close by. We used to go to Polish bakery and deli stores in Hamtramck during the weekend and bring it all back to Windsor. Some of the best rye/caraway seed bread came from there.

It does seem odd just going by the short clip, but we don't know the evidence presented or defence raised.

Hopefully, the driver performed, and documented , the air brake inspection at the yard .Before putting the bus In Service.
The air brakes were tested by a mechanic(s) , after the collision, and found to be OK.

That decision is more bewildering than the accident. What we have is:
1) evidence that the brakes were okay by the crown expert; and
2) no evidence that the brakes were faulty - because she gave no evidence - just a defence theory pulled out of counsel's butt.
One would think in a case like this the judge would have to give clear and compelling reasons why he accepted the "bad brakes" theory in the face of expert evidence and no contrary evidence.

As CZ operators , we had to complete a daily pre-trip inspection report before we left the yard.
We had to carry it throughout the shift, and be prepared to hand it over , along with vehicle documentation, to police or Ministry of Transportation (MTO) enforcement officers on demand.
So, assuming that's how MiWay operates, her evidence could only be that the brakes were OK when she left the yard.
The other possibility being the inspection is done by fleet technicians , or another operator she relieved.
Interesting, because I am a fairly regular MiWay customer.

In August 1993 one of our soldiers was killed in Croatia when the brakes in an MLVW failed and it rolled back, crushing him between two vehicles.That decision is more bewildering than the accident. What we have is:
1) evidence that the brakes were okay by the crown expert; and
2) no evidence that the brakes were faulty - because she gave no evidence - just a defence theory pulled out of counsel's butt.
One would think in a case like this the judge would have to give clear and compelling reasons why he accepted the "bad brakes" theory in the face of expert evidence and no contrary evidence.
The MLVW was inspected by techs and IIRC the brake was faulty - the temp park brake.

As a Heavy truck mechanic brake failure on an air brake system is HIGHLY unlikely. I have not seen it on a truck in my 20+ year career. More likely she didn't brake or she missed the brake pedal and hit the throttle instead. Why did the crown not retrieve the onboard computer data?

He was a good soldier. I was on site the day he was killed - I didn't see it but saw the stretcher being taken to the UMS.
