I find it both fiscally and morally reprehensible to create such an issue of an already completed, successful and safe program that has been proven to change the feelings of safety and security of the thousands of bikers who use these again, already completed bike paths, monthly, weekly, and daily. I, as well as most people in the city who do not reside under Doug Ford's immediate constituency of Etobicoke, are so tired of the needless chest-pumping antics of the Ontario Conservative leadership. Doug's nearly senile gripes with the matters of the city harkens to his penchant for treating everything as if he was still a boy in the 1970s. The high number of deaths in 2024 show that these safe biking initiatives are necessary. A continuous growing city with no room for more roads and more vehicles show that alternative methods of travel are only going to be increasingly necessary. And the millions of dollars invested into Metrolinx shows a counterintuitive, downright contradictory messaging about the future of public transit. Shouldn't we be discouraging people to be driving into the city at all? Should we not divert the millions of dollars that will undoubtably be needed to reverse the functioning bike paths into our crumbling, decaying, and underfunded public transit system? I'm sure a few millions would go a long way to creating a bus route so Doug Ford doesn't have to see the bikers he despises so much that he wants to implement legislation for complete and tyrannical control over every aspect of his miserable life that he can lay his fingers on. I truly do not care who needs to drive down Bloor, University, or Yonge, when they can hop off and take the train into the city like the rest of us.
