It's happening, the worst mayor Toronto has ever had is removing three major recently completed bike lanes at tax payer expense. That's right, Ontario tax payers are footing the bill for Ford to meddle in Toronto municipal infrastructure. This is of course to distract us from failing healthcare and education while appealing to his mostly car centric base.

There is a protest happening Wed. 23rd of October, please come out if you can. https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/rally-ride-for-road-safety-tickets-1045417761667

Just so you know, this appears to be cover for some other goodies in the same bill:

Ford's turbo'ing past the environmental assessment for Highway 413
He's also bypassing the need to use (striking) civil engineers for the 413

The 413 will make his developer cronies a lot of money; everything else is identity politics garbage to get the bill through.

This is Greenbelt 2.0.
