Clearly municipalities can’t be trusted to hold the provincial government’s leaders’ financial interests. More bike lanes means more people on bikes, meaning fewer cars being sold, meaning less money available for schmoozing from the auto industry. We can’t have that, it’s bad for the economy, or something.
Why should an entire province get the final say in a project that realistically only impacts a couple neighborhoods at best?

None of Doug Ford’s friends are heavily invested in bicycle manufacturers, I guess.
