Opposed to Bill 212 Ontario…

Ontario Bill 212 is bad for the environment, cities, cyclists, drivers, and government accountability.

The bill attempts to exempt itself from the Environmental Assessment Act — a bad idea.
The bill attempts to overrule the decisions of cities — a bad idea.
The bill targets specific bike lanes in Toronto that commuters rely upon — a bad idea.
The bill purports to improve travel times for drivers, but in fact will make them worse — a bad idea.
The Information and Privacy Commissioner, in a letter written Nov. 18, 2024 has written that the proposals in Schedule 2 of the bill "fly directly in the face of these long-held democratic principles and dangerously erode Ontarians' right to information within the custody or control of public institutions" — a bad idea.

With so many bad ideas found in one bill, the best course of action would be to withdraw Bill 212 in its entirety.
