This bill is an absolute…

This bill is an absolute step backwards for all Ontarians. Both cyclists and drivers will suffer from reduced bike lanes, taxpayer dollars will be spent undoing work that we already paid for, and requiring provincial approval for local projects will introduce needless time-wasting bureaucracy into an already bloated system. Honestly, surface level, this just seems like a thoughtless appeal to Doug Ford's base of people who think that bike lanes are a polarizing political issue. They're not. They're a basic necessity of any growing urban centre and casting them as a wedge issue is both moronic and dangerously short-sighted. It's a sad state of affairs when this is how politicians in Canada try to earn votes.
