There's a saying that "if you build it, they will come." I suppose the same is true in reverse. "If you tear it down, they will leave." Doug Ford's plan to eliminate key bicycle infrastructure in downtown Toronto would be an unmitigated disaster. Even if it was all removed and more lanes were added, congestion would not improve, because building more lanes for cars will always induce demand for them, and they'll fill up regardless. The inherent inefficiency of the car is why we have traffic, not because there's enough space on the side for bike infrastructure that doesn't kill people. Please reconsider.
