well, maybe not in this thread, but in my province there were, and still are, plenty of cyclists who back the law.
From my understanding, every province has had a push to pass helmet laws in Canada, and the only ones to have them passed are the ones where cycling advocacy organizations did not take an opposition stance to them. The ones that had laws either rejected outright, or amended to include children only, had organized cycling advocacy groups stand against the law.
My province's cycling advocacy organization held a neutral position and without opposition, the very arguments that are argued here in this thread convinced politicians t pass a helmet law
