It is disrespectful and dictatorial for a provincial government to interfere in municipal affairs. Each level of government must stick to its own area of responsibility and not interfere with other levels of government. This should be enough to change the country's constitution to prohibit this kind of brutality.

Aside from the absurdity of the interference, at this point in history any decision should be data-driven, which this bill is far from being. It shows how incompetent and unprofessional this cabinet is.

The bill ignores the fact that between 7% and 8% of commuters use bicycles in the areas mentioned by the Ministry in the media, and ignores the health benefits of bicycling, considering that only 15% to 20% of Canadians meet physical activity recommendations.

I would like to recommend that the provincial government of Ontario only take care of provincial matters and do so with knowledge and professionalism.
