Here's a video from Oh The Urbanity!, a resident of Toronto, on the stupidity of removing these specific bike lanes, and the insanity of Ontario making expensive, self-destructive traffic decisions for Toronto's residents.

Oh The Urbanity! is a couple, and they live in Montreal. They previously lived in Toronto, but I think it's been a decade or more.

Doug Ford is the worst mayor Toronto never elected.

That sub is so toxic. I fully support vote reform, though my preferred system is ranked choice/mixed member proportional. Any comments asking legitimate questions about how 100% proportion representation would work in Canada is shot down, and often deleted.
