This Bill is absolute…

This Bill is absolute nonsense. Why do Doug Ford and the Ontario government want to consolidate power and take municipal level decisions away from municipalities? As a resident of Ottawa, this is incredible overreach, especially when compared to the Ontario government’s lack of action during the convoy events of 2022; why are Ottawa roads and traffic such a concern to the provincial government all of a sudden?

On top of all of the hypocrisy, this is a huge step back in terms of the provinces environmental goals. Why are we moving away from active and public transit? This suggests removing some of the limited semi-protected bike lanes that already exist and are not enough as it is.

There is no proof that increasing car lanes decreases traffic in any way, it simply leads to more cars on the road driving for longer distances.
