Ontarios homelessness crisis is a huge challenge. Of course people do not like encampments, but the right way to address them is to provide safe, stable housing and services. Using the notwithstanding clause in this way is wrong. Sign the petition! 👇 change.org/OntarioEncampm…

The quantitative benefits of cycling are obvious—improving carbon emissions, public health and traffic congestion. The qualitative benefits are less so—providing freedom and autonomy to the third of society excluded from a car-dependent transport system. youtu.be/n8Jy-0-Vako

Bloor St rush hour, November 2024. 12 bikes occupying the same amount of distance as 3 cars.

Doug Ford's Minister of Transportation, Prabmeet Sarkaria, is using old Ontario regional stats from 2011 to justify the removal of Toronto bike lanes. It's like claiming that because 94% of Ontario doesn't use Toronto's TTC, we should start ripping up subways. #TOpoli #ONpoli #BikeTO

COMMUNITY NOTES: It is landlords, developers, real estate speculators, and banks that DOUBLED housing costs in nine years, not NDPers and Liberals. Other than 3.5% of the housing stock which is publicly owned, government does not set the price of housing in Canada.

Seriously, if you haven’t watched this yet, you really have to. It’s one thing to oppose smart bike infrastructure just because some street businesses complain — it’s a whole different level of AWFUL LEADERSHIP to rip up a successful bike-lane that the business community loves!

Thousands of Ontario residents came together to send a message to Doug Ford and Prabmeet Sarkaria that bike lanes save lives, solve congestion and transport goods.
