This whole plan is flawed in so many ways, and a giant waste to taxpayers. More evidence that Doug Ford's goals do not align with those of the citizens of Ontario.

Bike Lanes
They are critical infrastructure to reduce gridlock and increase rider safety. Everyone on a bicycle is one less car in our city streets. That's a win. Using taxpayer money to tear them up, or requiring the gov't to approve of new lanes being built is a huge overstep in their powers.

Highway 413
This highway is completely unnecessary, given that it largely twins the 407. Buy back that highway, or work out a deal with them to move truck traffic to the 407 and immediately traffic flow on the 401 and 403 improve. The fact that this government is spending our money to heavily advertise this highway while it's not been fully planned or costed is again absurd, and more proof that this government has no interest in respecting the taxpayers in this province.

Further, this line shows a continued lack of transparency - by design - from this gov't:
Information maintained in confidence
(3) The Minister and every person employed in the Ministry that has access to information supplied under this section shall maintain it in confidence.

I note that there appears to be no section describing the tender or costing process of the work itself.

Changes to The Towing and Storage Safety and Enforcement Act, 2021
Removing the need for tow drivers to display their names and/or certified names can lead to abuse, as enforcement of certifications is not improved in this act. The public needs to know who is towing vehicles, and be able to verify their standing in the province with respect to certification.

All this to say, this act and the plans therein are wholly in the interest of the gov't and their benefactors, not the people of Ontario. No studies suggesting this course of action over others are mentioned, and no attempts to save the province money through these plans are detailed.
