Bill 212 is not based on any…

Bill 212 is not based on any data or evidence, and would be a detriment to efficiently moving people around Ontario due to the following reasons:

- Bill 212 will not solve congestion on Toronto's streets. The answer to car congestion is not to encourage more cars on the road (that's completely illogical) - the answer is obviously to provide people with viable, alternate options to cars, such as bike lanes and transit. When these alternate means are invested into, people will use them - and this is what will reduce the amount of people in cars.

- Bill 212 will result in more cyclist injuries and deaths. Removing bike lanes means bikes will have no choice but to mingle with cars in unseparated lanes, creating a higher chance of incidents.

- Bike lanes have been proven to be a boon to businesses, with cyclists more easily able to stop along their way to visit local businesses.

- It is a complete waste of money to remove existing infrastructure that was only recently installed. This is not a good use of taxpayer money, we should be investing this in things like better transit, healthcare, and housing.

- Bill 212 circumvents environmental assessments for development - this is not a sustainable way to develop things, we absolutely need to be considering the environmental impact of current decisions to protect the future of our spaces.

- The idea that the government can kick people out of their homes with short notice to build these highways is ridiculous and an abuse of power. There is no evidence these highways will actually improve anything, so to be able to uproot lives for this is unacceptable.

Any government that believes in this bill is clearly unfit to make decisions for this province - if this were any other job that wasn't related to government or these protected roles, this sort of incompetence would be grounds for dismissal. It's baffling that the leaders of this province believe this bill will actually be a benefit to Ontario when there is no evidence to support this. None of these should be priority issues when there is so much else that needs dealing with. What we are seeing is corruption, and Ontarians will not stand for this. We should be conducting a thorough investigation into the people behind this, to uncover and expose the fraud and kickbacks involved, as that is truly what is happening here.
