7 d. ago Alleged drunk Ontario driver clocked at 200km/h says he was 'late for work'

Times have been pretty darn tough in Ontario, between the present economic recession and sky-high unemployment rates, an ongoing trade war and long-running cost of living crisis, a growing socio-political divide and general lack of faith in various levels of government — need we go on?But even if it feels like it's all been more than enough to make us all collectively lose our cool or lean into our vices, there's no excuse or explanation for what one Toronto resident was caught doing behind the wheel this weekend.Putting both themselves and the public in grave danger in the process, an unnamed 25-year-old was pulled over by Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) on Sunday morning after they were clocked going a whopping 200 km/h — which is double the posted limit — along Highway 407.Upon pulling the vehicle over, though, officers discovered that the serious speeding was only the beginning of the motorist's...
