what. what. what. I think I misunderstood this whole thing. They are actually removing them? I thought it was more like they were not going to make more and let them rot type of thing.
- You misunderstand the hubris of the Ford government.
  It's a full removal of lanes that were recently put in because they believe adding them worsened traffic despite evidence showing the contrary.
- Your tax dollars at work! Do we need to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure? Nah we need to save that money to tear down what little we have.
- It makes me unhappy that this didn't penetrate the awareness of so many people in Ontario, despite receiving literally world-wide coverage. Good ole' Worst Case Ontario.
  
  granted im not canadian so I was not very invested and was just reading headlines. I just sorta assumed.
  
  ahh that makes me feel a bit better
