Oddly, they don't list a sample size, but here is the link:

(It was from News, November 16th)
The one thing I will say, is the HV poll and the TorStar poll is phrased quite differently. The TorStar is specific around school zones & construction sites. I am no fan of photo radar anywhere, but if it was limited to school zones only, I wonder what the results are (problem is step 2 is everywhere else)
In this article, they do list a sample size, but its not very large...
Renkema cited a Harris-Decima poll her organization commissioned that showed 67 per cent of the 328 Ontarians surveyed Nov. 4-7 back the measure.

What they propose in Scarborough is interesting. My fear is that once they got use to the revenue, they introduce it elsewhere and turn it into an ATM (oh look, we're running over budget, lets bring a few of these atms and we'll right the ship)
The Scarborough councillor said his proposal is for a pilot project to protect more than 1,500 students who attend Sir John A. Macdonald Collegiate Institute, Fairglen Public School and J.B. Tyrrell Senior Public School.
City council decided to ask city staff to take a look and report back after the Oct. 25 municipal elections.
Kelly wants to see a system that would flash the vehicle’s speed before the school zone, giving people a chance to slow down. If they don’t, then a photo radar-generated ticket would arrive in the mail.
“Under photo radar, the goal is to raise revenue,” he said. “Under my system, the goal is to have no revenue because you want everyone to obey the warning.
“If you don’t heed the warning, you get a ticket. It’s not designed to raise revenue. If it’s a tax, it’s a tax on stupidity, or carelessness.”
