The decision to take out…

The decision to take out bike lanes in our province’s largest city is not only frustrating, but is the determining factor as to why I will no longer vote Conservative as I have been for 8 years now.

I am a paramedic and have seen the death, trauma, and suffering caused when cyclists are not given their safe lane to transport. We should be taking pages out of the books of the greatest cities on earth, who maximize cycling and pedestrainism as much as possible.

As cost of living has risen over the past 5 years, I have ridden my bike more than ever due to the increase in fuel prices, to decrease my carbon footprint, and to enjoy the INCREASE in cycling infrastructure my city has provided. As a paramedic, I hate cars. They are unsafe, improperly used, and cause injury, illness, and are often dangerous objects or rage in high congestion.

I do not think the Ontario Conservative Party represents my interests as a young proud Canadian.

Thanks!
