‘They’re coming out’: Ford says he will remove bike lanes from 3 Toronto streets | Globalnews.ca
globalnews.ca
Ontario Premier Doug Ford said he plans to remove bike lanes from three Toronto streets, whatever the data submitted by city officials.

It’s happening, the worst mayor Toronto has ever had is removing three major recently completed bike lanes at tax payer expense. That’s right, Ontario tax payers are footing the bill for Ford to meddle in Toronto municipal infrastructure. This is of course to distract us from failing healthcare and education while appealing to his mostly car centric base.

There is a protest happening Wed. 23rd of October, please come out if you can. https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/rally-ride-for-road-safety-tickets-1045417761667

    the worst mayor Toronto has ever had

    Quick question, what does the mayor have to do with this? The article says,

    In Toronto, where the three routes would be removed and many others could be blocked, Mayor Olivia Chow has shown no signs of … playing along with the premier’s plan.

    Also, looks like it’s not quite a done deal yet,

    The legislation, introduced on Monday, still has to be debated and reviewed by a parliamentary committee before becoming law.

    But what are the odds of it passing? I guess quite high, otherwise we wouldn’t be worried about it.

      Quick question, what does the mayor have to do with this?

      The joke in local politics has been “Doug Ford is the wort mayor Toronto has ever had” because he’s constantly meddling in Municipal affairs in retribution for failing to win the mayoral election. This was a jab at Ford, not Chow.

      But what are the odds of it passing? I guess quite high, otherwise we wouldn’t be worried about it.

      Pretty much guaranteed. The cons have a majority and can do whatever they want.
