Ontario doesn't need another highway, it needs investment in public transportation. Modernized TTC vehicles, GOTrains and ViaRail, actual timely and working infrastructure that can allow people to commute across the province and around the GTA. We should be investing in high speed rail and 10-15 minutes GOTrains. You should be allocation funding to municipalities for these projects.
Torotonians have a right to enjoy their democracy and experience the legislation they voted for by the councillors they voted in. It's absolutely ridiculous the steps the premier has taken to encroach on Toronto's autonomy and jurisdiction. Bike lanes are necessary parts of our public infrastructure. To remove them is a wasteful and politically motivated decision. One especially biting when you consider what other legislative priorities should be funded in lieu of their removal. Cyclists are members of our society and deserve every bit the protection that these lanes create. From cutting the size of city council, strong mayor powers, Ontario place, the science centre and now bike lanes, it's clear to constituents that the premier has nothing but contempt and a gross misunderstanding of his powers when it comes to Toronto. If the legislature doesn't understand that it's not their place to dictate municipal policies, then they should resign and go work for the cities. Otherwise, they need to step off and remember the constitutional breakdown of jurisdictional responsibility. Residents will remember that when every facet of our social, public and economic infrastructure is crumbling under privatization and abandonment, that the province chose to use tax payer money to remove bike lanes.
