However when people jwalk in manhatten and a car is coming, the car honks and doesnt slow down, and the crowd of people who are jwalking part like the red sea.

Same thing happens in Hong Kong.

Its funny to see how fast they move when a car is coming, sounds his horn, and they dont belong there.

looking at things from the perspective the pedestrian is always right is not protecting them... placing the onus on the pedestrian to look after themselves is not idiotic, as a matter of fact quite the opposite... the fact that the law has been 'engrained into the psyche' of people in TO has lulled the average pedestrian into a false sense of security... and is a danger to drivers... its much easier for a pedestrian to turn around and remove themselves from a dangerous situation.... steps taken should be by pedestrians not placing themselves in danger... rather then them relying on a law which will not actually prevent you from bodily harm... rather will just place blame....
