Never before in U.S. history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next. This is dictatorship.

Two groups, both claiming to be local residents and businesses, have popped up in opposition for each of the Dufferin and Bathurst transit-only surface routes. But if both groups claim to be locals, why are their names and the text on their websites almost exactly the same?
Opening text of the ‘Protect Dufferin’ website reads:

PROTECT DUFFERIN
“This isn't just a transit route
— it's our home. The City is rushing through major changes to Dufferin Street: removing all street parking and adding 24/7 bus-only lanes — with no plan to support the thousands of residents who rely on curb lane access for everyday life. We support better transit, but not at the cost of basic access and livability on our residential street.”PROTECT BATHURST
THIS ISN'T JUST A TRANSIT ROUTE — IT'S OUR HOME.
The City is rushing through major changes to Bathurst Street: designating bus-only lanes and removing all street parking 24/7.

They have no plan for supporting the thousands of residents and local
businesses who rely on curbside access for everyday life. We agree with better transit - but not at the cost of basic access and livability on
our streets.

Here’s the key problem: Slow, unreliable transit pushes more people into cars. And then these mostly-empty cars make transit even less reliable… which pushes more people into cars… which slows down transit… And the cycle goes on until you speed up transit and entice people out of their cars.
