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

Wait…. Wasn’t his brother the mayor? The dead one?

Yes, and now Doug is super mayor of Toronto.

Sometimes I’m glad he doesn’t realize the rest of us exist, but I’d like a premier here for all of Ontario.

I wore my councilor an email saying: hey maybe our city should speak out about this bullshit, Guelph is writting a letter, we could do that?

He got me back with: we're workshopping it; but letters are a bad idea, they piss of this government and then you just end up with random retribution.

So those are the clowns we have running the province.

Mobsters, not clowns.

OPC MPPs are exactly the kind of small-business douchebags that get really upset about any attempts to correct them.
