As a taxpayer who drives and cycles equally as frequently, I am practically begging the government to stay in its lane, like they did regarding the “More Homes in the Communities we Love Act”, and focus on matters that are actually provincial jurisdiction.

There are countless studies, data and evidence that prove dedicated bike lanes ease congestion and improve the success of small businesses. I hope the government drops this charade and focuses on issues we elected them to legislate on: building transit and creating housing around said transit.
