I strongly oppose Bill 212.
I believe this Bill was made because of Doug Ford's crusade against Toronto, and is most certainly not in the best interest of Ontario at large. This Bill will not alleviate traffic in any meaningful way. By removing and stopping the creation of bike lanes, this will inevitably create more traffic and increase environmental stressors.
I also strongly oppose building highways faster. This Bill will allow the province to sidestep important environmental impact assessments and expropriate land. The environment should be rigorously protected, as we are currently in a climate crisis, whether Conservatives want to believe it or not. Expropriating land from farmers is disgusting. Who will grow food when you are taking away land and destroying ecosystems for highways.
Doug Ford is destroying this province, all because he can feel like he owns Toronto. Building more highways won't get you to your cottage faster, Doug. We all know this is about lining the pockets of the puppeteers pulling your strings. It's time for you to work for Ontarians, not developers. It's time for you to understand that Ontario is more than just Toronto. Conservatives of Ontario and across Canada have been plundering the resources of Canadians for too long. Dismiss this Bill today.
