Please rename this bill to accurately reflect what it is trying to do. My suggestion would be, "Bill 212: increasing gridlock and making Toronto worse for everyone, especially those that live there, 2024"
1) I thought Conservatives were for saving money. This is a proposal to waste taxpayer money to destroy things that were just constructed
2) I thought Conservatives were for small government. The proposal seems to aim for heavy handed additional layers of socialist-style top-down bureaucracy.
3) I thought Conservatives were pro family. The proposed legislation will make kids less independent and will definitely lead to more dead kids on the road.
4) I thought Conservatives were in favor of consumer choice. This legislation seems to want to force more people into one method of transportation: driving. Why? Is it not obvious this will lead to more cars on the road and more congestion?
5) I thought Conservatives were pro business. The legislation will hurt all the businesses along these streets.
6) I don't understand why the province wants to meddle in municipal affairs. Are you going to create a shadow transportation office for every town in Ontario?
These facts are not new. The provincial government is already aware of them and knows its proposal will not help with traffic. I am a voter that likes the idea of business friendly leadership and saving public money. Since this proposal does neither of those things, rather the opposite, if this passes there is no chance I will be voting Conservative. And if I am killed while biking along Bloor street, you can be certain that my obituary will make it clear who has the blood on their hands.
