    Approved attributable quotes from the report's findings.

    "Vehicles crash into commercial buildings more than 100 times every day across North America — injuring an estimated 16,000 people and killing 2,600 in the U.S. alone each year."

    — Titan Barriers Inc., 2026 Alberta Vehicle-Into-Building Incident Report

    "Canadian commercial insurers are rewriting the rules. For cannabis retail and jewelry stores, bollard installation has moved from best practice to mandatory condition of coverage."

    — Titan Barriers Inc., 2026 Alberta Vehicle-Into-Building Incident Report

    "Calgary recorded 12 vehicle-assisted cannabis-store ram-raids in November 2023 alone. Edmonton, Toronto, and Vancouver have all seen the same pattern accelerate."

    — Titan Barriers Inc., 2026 Alberta Vehicle-Into-Building Incident Report

    "Ontario's $20 million Liam Riazati Memorial Fund — created after an 18-month-old was killed by an SUV at a Richmond Hill daycare — is the Canadian policy turning point. Alberta has not yet followed."

    — Titan Barriers Inc., 2026 Alberta Vehicle-Into-Building Incident Report

    "If a single severe vehicle-into-building incident costs ten times the install, the bollards pay for themselves at any annual crash probability above 10 percent."

    — Titan Barriers Inc., 2026 Alberta Vehicle-Into-Building Incident Report

    "Hinton, AB confirmed in September 2025 that the threat reaches Alberta's schools. The province has not waited for an incident before — and it should not wait now."
