When will Mr Ford realize that he is on the wrong side of history?

Bike lanes in urban settings are positive additions for everyone. Merchants. Commuters. Breathers of Air, all are beneficiaries of Bike Lanes. Municipalities are infinitely better judges of their own commuting infrastructure needs than a top down, one size fits all approach. I have seen the numbers of cyclists on Toronto's streets explode over the course of my career, in large part because bike lanes have made it safer for people to get around without burning gas. Is it possible for Mister Ford to govern this province without engaging in divisive, retrograde posturing?

The 413 and 401 GTA mega tunnel are both idiotic proposals. Urban planners are all predicting, based on every example that history has provided thus far, the new roads will be crammed with vehicles shortly after completion. More congestion, more pollutants, more frustrated voters.

Our premier's proposals on transit will move us backwards in terms of urban development, generate even bigger environmental problems for the future, and push provincial debt to even less manageable levels.

Can Mr. Ford not reflect on his terribly overbudget and overdue Provincial responsibility for the Eglinton LRT line? How does his ongoing mismanagement of that project qualify him to be a credible voice on any other transit issue?

Just for perspective on the current premier's modus operandi: His upcoming two hundred dollar bribes for billionaires and the destitute alike may be many things, but one of them we know for certain, because, math, is that his "free cash" scheme will result in $140 million dollar annual interest bill, in perpetuity.
