B212 is an abysmal…

B212 is an abysmal proposition for many reasons.

The "bike lane bill" is a distraction for the many terrible things listed in this proposal that will take away people rights, property, and won't actually solve the problem of traffic.

1. CARS cause TRAFFIC. Not bikes. You want to relieve traffic? Look at how the rest of the world has successfully done that. By investing in public transportation that everyone will want to use. Not just something that the poor are forced to use. Make public transportation accessible, reliable, and desirable for everyone. Make it a better alternative to driving into the city.

2. Removing BIKE LANES won't remove the BIKES. The cyclists will just be forced to ride in traffic, making it more dangerous that it already is. Cycles are being killed on streets where there are no bike lanes.

3. The suggestion that the province can expropriate your property to bring broadband to new areas and don't need to ask if it's OK is a complete breach of peoples property rights.

4. If the province takes your land to build a highway, you CANNOT apply for an extension. Why are you so insistent on taking people's rights away?

5. Highway 413 is exempt from any environmental impact assessments. A terrible idea for many obvious reasons. We are in a CLIMATE CRISIS. And highway 413 will do nothing to relieve traffic.

Here we go again with the Ford government trying to weasel items into a bill which will remove environmental protections, people's property rights, and cause cycles to DIE on the streets of Toronto. All so they can give more money and power to the developers you made deals with.

I am furious at this government's wastefulness. 200 million spent to get alcohol into stores one year early? Another 3 BILLION to send $200 checks (bribes) to everyone regardless of need? Disgusting waste of money. Healthcare? Housing? Public transportation? No... instead your priority is "traffic", with solutions that will do NOTHING to relieve it.

This government should be ashamed.
