Our planet is in a state of…

Our planet is in a state of emergency, and continued inaction will lead to irreparable damage for generations. This bill not only reflects a profound misunderstanding of the climate crisis by our policymakers but also represents an active effort to reverse progress.

As someone who uses our bike lanes 4-6 days a week to commute, I know firsthand how essential they are. They allow me to navigate the city safely, avoid adding to traffic congestion, and reduce the burden on our already inadequate transit system.

The proposals in Bill 212 represent a harmful misallocation of resources, endanger the safety of cycling commuters, and will worsen congestion in our city. Instead of dismantling critical infrastructure, we need to invest in more cycling networks, improve public transit, and take meaningful action to meet our emissions targets.

This bill highlights how disconnected our government is from the realities facing our province. We need leaders who prioritize sensible, data-driven policies that benefit people and the environment—not ones who undermine progress and jeopardize our future.
