Put another way, Ford wants to spend more on removing bike lanes in Toronto ($48M) than he's spent protecting all of Ontario's businesses from an international trade war. Ontario deserves serious leadership, that follows through on promises, and actually puts people before profits.

Ford walked away from an offer to restore travel lanes and keep bike lanes. The RFP makes clear that the province is still targeting EVERY SINGLE METRE of Bloor, Yonge, and University. This wasn't just a ploy to remove bike lanes in Etobicoke. It's an attempt to gut Toronto's entire cycling network.

A Canadian making $70k a year will save $11 a month. This will reduce contributions to the plan by $3 billion. A year. I can't even fathom the thinking that went into this. Carney keeps doing these tax breaks that don't do shit for individuals but cost the government billions. It's pathological.

Remember that the next Ontario election likely will not be until 2030. The Ford government is applying a "scorched earth" policy to any and all public assets and services for their ultimate goal of privatization. They do not care about being popular because they maintain power.
