I'm a transit rider and driver in downtown Toronto. Both transit and roads are often at capacity during peak times, and if we added the people who bike onto either mode, it'll significantly make traffic and/or crowding worse. One lane is an insignificant amount of road capacity for the amount of safety and choice it offers people.

A conservative government should be focusing on upzoning and building more housing in downtowns and Toronto in particular, so people don't have to travel long distances to work/school/etc as often. This sort of culture-warring on bike lanes helps no one while making traffic worse.
