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."

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

If you're going to b*tch about the noise from the #airshow but still vote for #DougFord & his Conservative lackey MPPs, then you're a hypocrite. If a once a year show bothers you, but constant jet traffic at #BillyBishop won't, you can STFU with your complaints.

Happy to have played a small role in last night's victory of my friend #ONDP candidate Fatima Shaban in the by-election in the #Ontario provincial constituency of #Scarborough Southwest
Winning is sweet! :)

Doug Ford is about to start removing the safe bicycling infrastructure on Bloor Street and University, falsely claiming that this will somehow reduce traffic congestion. This is in spite of hearing deputations from city planning and traffic experts all pointing out that what will really happen is this:
1. Congestion will get worse, as all the traffic that used to move efficiently by bike will now have to take cars or public transit, or continue on bikes, but riding in a car lane or on the sidewalk where it is much more dangerous. I’ve stood on the Viaduct during rush hour and counted more throughput in the bike lane than in both car lanes combined.
2. More people — pedestrians, bikers, and drivers — will get hurt, maimed, or killed. It’s clear Ford is aware of this, because he added a provision to the bill to make it impossible to sue the province when this does, inevitably, occur.
2. It may seem that adding an extra lane should make traffic faster, but the true bottleneck is the throughput of intersections. And along Bloor, the intersection throughput is already lower than the existing lane carrying capacity.
So to recap, removing the bike lanes will:
1. Cost millions of taxpayer dollars
2. Make traffic congestion worse
3. Lead to more injuries and deathsThen why is Ford doing it? To pander to low-information voters in the burbs who will not feel the impact of these changes. He is literally willing to sacrifice lives to get some votes.
This is not surprising, as his closure of four safe injection sites across the city has already led to a “staggering” increase in overdoses and deaths, according to reporting in the Star.
And then he has the gall to advertise about “making a safer Ontario”.

Great investigative piece by Star abt Ford's rejection of city's compromise plan to restore car lanes but keep bikelanes. Ford rejection of win-win plan won't sit well with many Ontarians who prefer a respectful Made-in-Canada approach over Trump-style vindictiveness. #onpoli @[email protected]

I wish politicians would call Doug Ford's action what it is: social murder.
"113 cyclists have died or been injured since 2023 on Toronto's streets. Premier Ford has a responsibility to protect cyclists and by removing protected bike lanes, it's making roads less safe."

Ford will kill bike 🚴♂️ commuters because he & other suburban 🚗 commuters don't like seeing 🚴♂️ fly past.
"Prabmeet Sarkaria said the province would look at keeping bike lanes “where possible…but the priority is restoring that vehicle lane.”

Glad to see provincial NDP keeping their seat in Scarborough, but the fact Doug Ford still managed to keep the other 2 seats shows how little the province care about making a change. Even after all the recent scandals. So disappointing

Both #Paris & #London have taken substantial steps to curb pollution by a number of means & it shows.
POP QUIZ: Should Canadians wish the same for our cities, should we, for example, be putting in MORE BIKE LANES or LESS BIKE LANES?

@jd @cjmoorehead so, let's see ...
▪ Ford has closed ServiceOntario outlets (and moved them into Staples).
▪ And changed school procurement process (outsourded to Staples - with higher prices).
▪ And hidden his communications from public view via a new law.
🤔
Nice vacation cottage (mansion) you have there, Dougie. I wonder how you got it? Just sayin'.

Peterborough hospital gets a 1.8% funding increase. Its costs are going up over 6% a year. The Ford government is hacking away at vital acute hospital services despite its promises to end hallway healthcare and clear the surgical wait lists.

"Trump is an easy target, a man who is little more than a cartoon villain. The tougher task for Ford is getting super-popular Carney to stand up for Ontario. Carney is being hailed as a hero for not giving the Americans everything they want, but the deal he was reportedly prepared to accept would have been a serious blow to Canada’s largest province."

"We haven't started cleaning up the radioactive waste from the 1960s but we promise we won't add more radioactive material to the ground or water supply, after we build the world’s largest nuclear power plant.Oh, and don't worry about a foreign actor sabotaging or bombing said plant, because international relations are stable, ask Ukraine about that."

"Ford’s government has become one of the most #authoritarian and #undemocratic on record. He’s taken control of school boards and conservation authorities, undermined regulatory agencies and passed laws forbidding critics from running ads critical of his government or uncovering past or future scandals....It’s extraordinary how much power this government has centralized into the hands of the premier and the cabinet.” https://breachmedia.ca/the-rise-and-potential-fall-of-doug-ford/

NDP politician said Carney must not burn the world, and a reporter laughed and asked if he really meant Carney was trying to "burn the world"
The answer is yes. Yes is the answer.
Carney does not have our permission.
We THOUGHT he was sane.🇨🇦
