While they (probably) wouldn't try to rip out any existing bike lanes, it would be foolish to assume a Liberal or NDP government would naturally repeal Bill 60 and relinquish provincial oversight over new bike lanes. Make them say so.

Hot take: even if you live in a "safe" riding, show up and speak out to support/encourage/challenge your local official to be bolder. It's not enough just to defeat the awful. We need the good to be better.

All those Toronto drivers who shouted about bike lanes' [non-existent] effect on emergency vehicles will no doubt throw their support behind congestion pricing. Right?

I realise now it was naive of me to expect them to come out against bike lane removals too. "The five candidates for the Ontario Liberal leadership were put on the spot in Monday evening’s debate and asked for their views on involuntary drug treatment. "None came out clearly for or against it."

This is right. Which is why local government needs to focus on the physical city and *actually improve it.* In Toronto, the left has failed on both of those points.

If you're a Dem who thinks you'll gain something by going anti-trans, look at Gallup's "most important problem" and Fox News' "most important issue" polling and see where trans issues rank. Whoever told you going anti-trans is a savvy or necessary move spends too much time on X and should be fired.

Gallup polling. "LGBTQ rights" moves between 0 and 1%.

Fox news polling. Wokeness/transgender issues at 0%.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.
A building.

@treewarrior.bsky....
maybe because defending everything about a super small minority of the population is not worth losing to fascists

Editorial board: "Mr. Ford insists this is a common-sense approach to tackling congestion. But a possible tell that this is more about culture-war politics is that he is making no effort to remove parking spaces, which take up more room than bicycle lanes." #BikeTo #OnPoli #ToPoli

Like for every person who complains that Toronto has only gotten worse since ______, I can actually say I've almost only ever seen things get better (with substantial exceptions like housing affordability, about which I'm monotonous.)

reminder that our premier, who sees himself as an anti-congestion champion in greater toronto, is doing everything in his power to cause more traffic: -building highway 413 & widening highways -removing bike lanes, which will also bring construction mayhem -historic cuts to GO train service

Doug Ford’s government rejected Toronto’s proposals to restore traffic lanes AND keep bike lanes A source said the province rejected EVERY proposal presented with a bike lane and negotiations weren’t able to reach the point of talking about in-depth (gift link) www.thestar.com/gift-redeem?...

So with the caveat that it's the Sunday of a long weekend.... coming back from apple picking in Brampton, we decided to drive along Bloor from Kipling for the last leg home. And my main takeaway is idea of ripping out any of the bike lanes to address traffic congestion is completely unhinged.

Will any other OLP leadership candidate speak out about Doug Ford walking away from a "win-win" offer from Olivia Chow to restore car lanes but keep the bike lanes in Etobicoke? Even a simple "bike lanes are a municipal issue"? Asking for a city.

Where is the ‘common sense’ here?

Ripping out Toronto bike lanes is more than just a waste of money

In @thestar.com I write about how to reimagine & continue Ford's very Trumpy, absurd & ridiculous bike lane war: don't feel lonely (there's more cyclists everyday); protests will grow (note to engineering firms & drivers); it's a culture war (facts, science & good faith don't matter). Let's go.

There are more possible chess games, by about 40 orders of magnitude, than atoms in the observable universe. To solve chess, you'd have to map them all. Good luck.

Wrong, all legal chess positions are ~40 oom less than the estimated atoms in the Universe. And ASI will figure out ways to solve and compress that are far beyond what we could possibly comprehend.
