Firstly, I'd like to open by saying that historically I've been a conservative voter. I now realize that the sociopathic conservative government no longer values human life. If bill 212 passes, I will never vote for this corrupt party again.

Removing existing bike lanes will inevitably increase the amount of motor traffic, increasing overall traffic volumes and slowing down commute times. As someone who cycles daily, if I no longer have a safe path to commute to work - which I hardly do as it stands - I will have to resort to polluting the planet with a car. Cyclists like myself will now be slowing down your valuable commute time by adding more barriers to traffic flow - cars. The additional environmental damage will be immense. Us cyclists are already disproportionately working to stem climate change while lazy and obese automobile users like yourselves actively work against us to destroy the planet.

Stop adding red tape to the construction of new infrastructure. You are actively making it more difficult to develop this country in a positive direction. I can clearly see a future under conservative administration of Ontario where the province technologically regresses because of the red tape added to infrastructure construction. We will be unable to compete with other successful green economies and will fall behind. Stop denying Ontarians the basics of developed economies - safe and essential infrastructure.

Let residents of cities have control of our own infrastructure instead of being subject to the autocratic authority of the conservative provincial government. Why are residents of cities subject to the whims of the rural and suburban elite? This is undemocratic and undermines the freedom of Ontarians to the fundamental human right to self-determination and self-governance. Stop exerting dictatorial control over the residents of cities we DO NOT consent to having our streets molested by obese air polluting suburbanites.
