This is a colossal waste of…

This is a colossal waste of time and taxpayer money to rip out bike lanes that have already been installed. It's also massive overreach by the provincial government on what should be municipal issues (and which were decided on by Toronto city councillors). It's absurd that the Conservative Party (supposedly the party of small government) is introducing all this red tape and requiring provincial approval for, what again, is a strictly municipal issue. The evidence does not support that introducing bike lanes has any material negative impact on car travel times. Further, restricting bike lanes will make cyclists and pedestrians less safe. We have already reached record levels of cyclist and pedestrian fatalities this year. This legislation will ensure that people keep needlessly dying.

Lastly, the proposed highway 413 should not be moving ahead without environmental assessments. This government is selling out the future in order to double down on car dependency. You should focus on delivering on Metrolinx transit projects if you want to reduce vehicle congestion.

Also instead of wasting time on culture war issues, work on what should be the major provincial portfolios (fixing the housing crisis, the lack of family doctors, etc.)
