I've decided I'm going to start emailing Ford links to news stories like this one, in which it's made evident that Bill 212 was a terrible, corrupt bill for the premier of this province to put forth. This story was the first. Every time a biker dies or is hurt, I'm going to email Ford.

So this pup that's a 5-minute walk from a subway stop is providing discount drinks to celebrate Bill 212 passing. I'm sorry, but if your business is reliant on drivers being able to easily get to you in Canada's largest city then you need a new business model.

Left: A Bay St CEO wants $50M in taxpayer funds to rip out bike lanes to avoid the subway. Right: Ontario’s Transport Minister complains about DT traffic instead of using his local GO train. Removing bike lanes is about elites feeling entitled to drive freely into North America’s 4th largest city.

Man’s brain is broken “Because of traffic, employees who live in the suburbs dread coming into the office, often leave work early, and seldom visit downtown on the weekends, said Lala, who notes that he’s a weekend bike rider himself: ‘It’s not about being anti-cyclist. It’s about being practical’”

Ultimately, this is the mindset we're up against.

The guy quoted is “obliged” to work 12-hour days because he “prefers” being stuck in traffic rather than using the subway that runs directly under the road he drives on… So which is it? Obligation or preference?

The entitlement here is shocking. Should Ontario taxpayers spend $50 million because this guy doesn't want to take the subway that serves his neighbourhood? I live in High Park too, don't own a car, and can get DT in 30-40 minutes by bike or subway. #biketo #onpoli #TOpoli
