1) How does the government…

1) How does the government justify themselves being the arbiter of what is and is not good for any individual city or community? Why in the goddamn hell, do bureaucrats in Toronto, get to decide whether the residents of Bradford, or Waterloo, or Ottawa can spend their money to install bike lanes for their communities?

This is a GROSS overreach of power.

2) Why does the text of this legislation not acknowledge that passenger rail, not highways, is the most efficient and effective mode of transportation that the government operates and builds?

3) How does the justify the increase in cyclist deaths and injuries that it will cause? What are the estimates, and what are your justifications for going ahead with a policy that will make the roads fundamentally less safe on a statistical basis?

4) Every single trip made by bicycle or electric bicycle is orders of magnitude more environmentally friendly, with lower carbon emissions and other air pollutants which directly impact human health. How is the government justifying incentivizing a less efficient form of transportation?

5) None of our current cycling networks come close to being as comprehensive as our road networks, and cycling is fundamentally more work than sitting in a motorized car. How are you evaluating the network effects of a complete cycling network vs one that only covers 1/10 the same as a car network?

Quite frankly, this legislation is some of the dumbest and most flawed legislation I can possibly imagine.

Build some trains in this province (and open them), if you want to reduce congestion.
