When Doug Ford got elected,…

When Doug Ford got elected, I remember him proposing policies that would limit government overreach. He talked about red tape reduction and reducing regulation. Should I be surprised that he has apparently reneged on this promise and decided to override the voices of Toronto residents? My wife and I lived on or near Bloor Street for many years (my wife grew up at Jane and Bloor). For decades, cars drove too fast and dangerously, it was loud, and Bloor Street itself was often unpleasant to visit and shop along. I was living near Bloor Street when the first set of bike lanes were opened. Not being able to afford a car, they were a Godsend -- especially given the state of the underfunded TTC. But apparently, if this legislation is to be believed, I'm not the right type of working class person that Ford and the Conservatives care about. I see that Ford wants to make my commute more dangerous and more difficult simply because I cannot afford a car. I find it insulting that apparently my daughter's safety as a pedestrian and a road user is considered "gridlock" to Doug Ford. This legislation will, inevitability, lead to more deaths. And it seems that I will now have to pray that my family will not be one of this Bill's victims.
