Remember, during the provinvial election only 40% of eligible voters in Ontario voted at all, many citing that the other parties weren’t “engaging” enough.
Anyway, I’ll watch the whole thing later but fuck Ontario(I am from Ontario).
yeah fuck ontario (i am also from ontario)
FUCK Ontario (I used to live in Ontario, but moved)
Everyone complains, no one votes. It’s pathetic.
I blame the “at least we aren’t as bad as the US” shitty Canadian mentality.
Give it time. Won’t be long with cons in charge. Never is.
Having lived there, I know we’re not.
But we could be. Polievre knows how we could be very similar to America.
(I realize the bike lane law is Ontario-wide and not just Toronto.) Last time Toronto was on the world’s radar, I think, was when we had the “crack-smoking Mayor.” Who was that again? /s Was that another person from the same Ford family?
Fat fuck fraud family of Ford’s.
Drug Fraud, sticking to his former and current livelihood.
Ontario votes like America, everyone knows that
This country fucking sucks, Ontario fucking sucks, and the Fords can lick my sack. Let me tell ya folks, if you don’t want to live the rest of your life aching to leave this shithole, don’t ever go live outside of North America. You would experience great public transit and would experience the the wonder of walkable cities. Once you return to Canada you’ll retch and gag every time you’re forced to travel along a stroad or god forbid ever having to walk along one. I’m speaking from experience.
You have to be an actual troglodyte to think this law makes any sense at all. Unfortunately, that’s exactly who Ford is targeting with this shit and there’s way more of them than I ever imagined.
This law is really about “let me build a highway with no way for the public to stop me and no environment assement or environmental protection infrastructure.” He needed the bike lanes bit to draw attention away from the highway parts and use the culture war to get more votes. Its those pesky cyclists causing traffic, not our ridiculous car dependancy.
Can someone please say what it is so I don’t have to watch this video?
New bike lanes need special approval if they are going to disrupt cars in any way
Why’s that dumb? Because it ultimately forces bikes to share widened footpaths like in Europe and we’re better than that?
Luckily I know just the video that explains it
Because (a) it will be used as an excuse to blanket-deny every bike lane, no matter how little disruption it might cause in reality, and more importantly (b) bike lanes should disrupt cars and are still good!
It is dumb because they are also ripping up existing bike lanes that have not impacted traffic and has benefitted the local economy. This is also just a blanket law so nearly every road in the province is subject to it.
It is dumb because a provincial government is over reaching into politics on a very local level that typically impacts local neighbourhoods, this kind of decision making should be up to the councilors, the people the local population elected to make these decisions.
The footpaths are not being widened, in some cases the foot paths are only two shoulder widths wide.
Doug Ford made a claim about actually wanting to shrink some footpaths along university to allow for more cars, whole also removing dedicated bike lanes.
Most people in Canada don’t see bike lanes as something that increases pedestrian safety as a whole. Which is a shame all around.
I so can’t wait until this goof becomes Prime Minister and still spends all his time and energy (when not bending over backwards for his developer buddies and wasting our money on vanity commercials) being vindictive to the people of Downtown Toronto
