This legislation is beyond…

This legislation is beyond ridiculous. It is absolutely egregious and a complete overreach of Provincial responsibility. The province is not in a position to know what is best for each municipality and local communities. This is such an obvious attempt to control what Toronto does because Ford has some kind of a vendetta against the city. I have never seen a Premier so obsessed with controlling what municipalities do. Perhaps he should take that energy and obsession and direct it to what the province is responsible for. Like our broken healthcare system and improving our education system. All this is going to do is create more bureaucracy, waste time and spend money on administration that is completely unnecessary. Stop applying blanket legislation to the entire province when your gripe is with Toronto. Eighty percent of the population does NOT live in Toronto. Sixty percent does NOT live in the GTA. This legislation isn’t even relevant in many places outside of Toronto. You want to get Ontarians moving? Invest in more trains and public transit in Southern Ontario so we can avoid the 401. Also, there is plenty of research demonstrating that active transportation reduces gridlock. This Bill is the complete opposite of solving the problem.
