Ontario Premier Doug Ford is very car-brained and really, really hates bike lanes. His base is in the suburbs of Toronto and anything that impedes cars gets him wound up. He wants to rip out recently created bike lanes in Toronto. He also banned speed cameras as they were working as intended. 🤷

He also has another proposal for an expensive tunnel to go under a busy freeway: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/doug-ford-hwy-401-tunnel-campaign-promise-1.7453508
