            If the bike lanes go out. Use the whole lane.

                  Cannot figure that guy out. Sometimes he’s based and other times he’s a gorram fash

                  He’d fit will in New Hampshire, actually

                      He’s a fascist that sometimes wins easy brownie points by opposing Trump.

                          Fascists dislike other fascists because they threaten their power.

                          This is the proper response to someone literally trying to destroy your city. You have to show up to the battle.

                            Wow the Ford administration is full of assholes huh?

                            “The province plans to remove 19 km of protected bike lanes on Bloor, Yonge and University. After the delay, Transportation Minister Prabmeet Sarkaria took to X to vow that the intention is still very much clear. “Work to restore vehicle lanes on Bloor Street West was scheduled to begin tonight but was halted by protesters. Make no mistake: these bike lanes are coming out. We have a clear mandate and we will deliver,””

                            What is this mandate he speaks of? Lol that sounds like some bullshit.

                                    Mandated by his petty little ego and his hatred of the people who denied him. He has a hate boner for the city, and he’ll use all the power granted to him by the suburbanites to destroy it.

                                    A bicycle is a vehicle. They are vehicle lanes so no change required…
