Yup. And who campaigned last election on making transit work? Sutcliffe. And who voted for #OCTranspo service cuts and fare increases? Sutcliffe. Just saying ...

It’s hard enough for cities in Canada to do smarter things given how often bad city leaders hurt their own cities. But it’s extra infuriating watching awful provincial premiers sabotaging cities by ripping out good things they FINALLY managed to achieve.
Premiers should not have that power, period.

"Ripping out these protected bike lanes against the will of Toronto city council is a colossal waste of $48 million. The province’s own experts know it will not ease traffic congestion, it will put people’s lives at risk…”
One of the stupidest things I’ve ever seen any politician do to any city.

Disparaging on social media local organizations that are solely volunteer based and doing the best they can is not kosher. In fact, it can discourage people from volunteering.
