It would seem that the premier is trying to insert himself as the mayor of every municipality in Ontario, instead of governing the provincial affairs. If he is so desperate to relive his glory days with his brother in the Toronto city council, perhaps he should step down and run for as councillor or mayor.

In a world where we are increasing noticing the effects of climate change (it was 20 degree in November), we should be encouraging the use of bike lanes and other modes of public transportation, instead of wasting public money to remove already existing bike lanes. Bike lanes are shown to have reduce congestion and obviously do not impact the environment as a car would. It would be fantastic if the premier and the minister of transportation would actually use facts, instead of spreading lies or using data from almost 30 years ago to justify their stupid decisions.

By removing these lanes, you are punishing bikers and putting their lives in greater risk. By removing these lanes, we are participating in wasteful spending by an already wasteful government. You are also punishing business owners who occupy spaces around these bike lanes. I thought Doug Ford was open for business?

Not to mention that all of this seems to be a ploy to simply push along Doug Ford's highway 413 and help his developers buddies. Sure, let's remove destroy the greenbelt and push for a highway that no one wanted and the public adamantly pushed back on. Evidence shows that adding more highways will not fix traffic congestion. It will make it worse for everyone while also destroying the greenbelt, which is important for our environment, especially since we are experiencing higher rainfalls and increased likelihood of floods because of climate change.

The premier and minister of transportation should be working on improving out existing infrastructure for mass transit (perhaps like electrifying the go train lines, building more bike lanes and mass transit corridors. Instead of going after bikers, the greenbelt and ultimately drivers.
