This act is unquestionably a joke. This Government has been lucky that they have no opposition, but it is starting to get ridiculous how they are treating residents of this province.
If you want to build your highway in the middle of nowhere, fine do that. But putting a culture war issue that has been invented solely to distract the public on bike lanes, so that you can build highways without following the province's own existing laws is just ridiculous. There is no reason for the Province to override municipal powers on this issue. Cities will have a chance to vote on city matters during the next municipal election.
If you want to build the 413 without the EA or whatever other nonsense, fine do that, you have a majority, pass the law, no one can stop you. But tying it up with a totally unrelated, and non provincial issue just for political points is quite honestly something that our Federal government would do. People voted PC for status quo, which meant municipalities keeping power over local roads. This government constantly is touting how the Feds should stay in their lane, maybe they should think about things a bit harder before they end up as popular as them.
