This is malice. Thug Ford continues to ruin the health of Ontarians.

The shit in Bill 212 is bonkers. The biking stuff is less than a page among a dozen or so. It's a shitshow from start to finish.

This video explains everything in the bill. I think the bike shit is a distraction. It's supposed to be upsetting, it's supposed to seem like they don't know what the fuck they are talking about. It's constructed that way so we don't pay attention to everything else.

@veeesix @GuelphOnTwoWheels utterly shameful isn't it??

Maybe he can’t ride a bike

Edit:

And if they don't vote, they get the Ford family.

Tbf every election, the opposition runs a moldy sandwich as their leader and then wonders why they lost. Not to mention I've been getting fucked by every premiere since I became an adult, no matter their party. The reason I care enough to go out there and help campaign against Ford this cycle is because of his Trump ass kissing recently. Keep that bullshit across the border. Otherwise it's another year without a good opposition

Ten years ago, yeah. People cannot WAIT to rip that shit up today using the notwithstanding clause.

Not if they ban lawsuits against the province for banning lawsuits first!

It actually works the other way around. Most governments around the world practice Sovereign Immunity , which is a legal doctrine which says the government can never be sued. So most governments around the world have banned their people from suing them in most situations. So this really is just non-news cause that's the way it's been throughout all human history.

I think folks would ask for bicycles to be completely illegal to own and operate before accepting that cyclists deserve infrastructure too at the rate we are going.

I think there should be a mechanism to hold those responsible for unsafe road design to account. Otherwise nothing would improve. there will always be distracted and dangerous drivers, and they should also be held accountable, but to build infrastructure in a way that is known to be unnecessarily dangerous should be punishable too

If you can sue the city for slipping and falling on sidewalks they don't salt, then surely you can sue the city for knowingly changing the design of a road to make it more dangerous, by arguing they have some level of culpability for harm to you if you get in an accident. The city's own study showed it reduced the rate of cycling accident (see Evaluation here) AND reduced collisions between cars.

Because they intentionally designed infrastructure that they knew would place people at risk when it was practically possible to reach their goals more effectively without fucking killing people.

Why should they not be held responsible for their shit urban planning?

If bike lanes were removed then you might have an argument.
