One of the many upsetting things about the Ford government's attack on bike lanes:
Prabmeet Sarkaria is the minister of transportation. He keeps saying that the bike lanes are unused and cause congestion.
He is also the first turban-wearing Sikh to be appointed to cabinet.
Any casual user of Toronto's bike lanes immediately notices that the most frequent year-round uses of the bike lanes are delivery drivers, many of whom are of Punjabi origins, just like Sarkaria.
If Sarkaria doesn't want to hear "downtown activists", maybe he should hear from his own community.
The people who will be most harmed by the bike lane removal are the delivery drivers. When a Punjabi delivery driver is killed in a car accident because he was cycling in a car lane, his blood will be is on Sarkaria's hands.
I haven't seen cycling activists trying to organize Punjabi delivery guys. Probably has to do with race and class.

My take: Doug Ford's success is inextricably tied to car dependency.
Cars provide the illusion of independence: the driver does the work of piloting the machine, and is sealed off from everyone around them.
Car dependent suburbs are stratified by income, reducing the income & race diversity of who folk are exposed to. All manner of unfamiliar people start to appear scary.
Absent community, a folksy guy peddling low taxes and law & order looks just fine.

The Doug Ford government has so underfunded Ontario hospitals that St. Catharines is currently asking for linen donations for their NICU.
Ford spent $25,000 of taxpayers' money for a stupid, useless sign not 15 minutes away, but no blankets for babies.

Suggestions for fighting back against the #Ontario government in its culture war on cyclists and bike lanes.
"Perhaps everyone who rides now should get in a car. Imagine that protest."

“For kids like my son, the current state of the public school system is setting them up to fail in life."
I could write these words. It's why, when we understood that staying in TDSB would leave our son functionally illiterate, we moved him to a private school for kids with LDs.

@dyckron
Very good idea!! It would help us unshackle the chains binding us to the US.When I trace Canadian companies back to their owners, or board of directors and CEOs, I am too often surprised at the number of Americans who are cashing in and influencing our businesses.
And when they have contracts with any level of our governmentthat affects our representatives political opinions and decisions.
Looking at you Doug Ford!! -

Trump threatening us with a good time. No trade with Canada and Mexico unless his own Fed reduces interest rates - while all the signals suggest they should raise them.
Bring it Orange Dumbass - we're just fine with that
