Auto safety belts mirror Prohibition era pushback in Canada
Canadian authorities push mandatory auto safety belts amid fines from twenty to one hundred dollars.

Ronald Berman praised as a scholar and public advocate, while opponents fear dismantling the program in favor of state patronage centers.
