I'm not sure Canadians grasp the scale of this catastrophe and the federal government appears to be intent on keeping it that way.
Fifteen soldiers still on venitilators three weeks later, nine in critical condition. Astonishing.
NEW: For a week, we pressed DND for updated information on soldiers injured in the deadly CFB Wainwright fire, including how many remained in critical condition.
DND wouldn't disclose that number.
So someone else did.

As every credible expert has told you, including your own staff, and as I’m sure you actually know yourself, this will result in more people being killed and injured, less safety for EVERYONE, worse traffic congestion, worse pollution, climate emissions and noise, undermined affordability and economic competitiveness, and less choice and freedom. And it cost the public A LOT. But at least you felt strong and powerful, right?

Your government's own documents showed removing bike lanes will worsen traffic and increase collisions: thetrillium.ca/news/municipa…

I’m an ER doc. To say “We’re protecting Ontario” is disgraceful. @RaymondChoPC

Average Toronto traffic jam caused by bike lanes
Just kidding. It’s actually usually illegally parked cars:
- blocking a delivery truck turning onto the road
- causing a Taxi about to drive onto sidewalk to get around
- resulting in a back up of various vehicles behind

Shoutout to Diana Chan McNally for overcoming all the bullshit. first renter to be elected to city councillor, has been THE frontline worker for Toronto's homeless population.
The city is better for it with her in council.

Protestors put their bodies on the line to protect bike lanes because people’s physical safety is at stake. Bike lanes have been proven to save lives.
A fund managed by @ffsafestreets and @TheBikingLawyer is providing support for people who have been arrested or injured. 1/2

These 32 #BloodBikes commemorate the 32 people killed on Bloor, Yonge & University in 20-years before bike lanes were built.
After bike lanes were installed only one tragic loss of life has occurred in 6-years since 2020.
Bike lanes keep EVERYONE save, not only people cycling.

The Toronto Police arrested Aly Van Wyck-Smart, a Paralympian with cerebral palsy who was protecting part of the bike lane from removal.
On the bright side, the construction workers put the bollards back and said we'd won for the day.
ARREST: (DEMONSTRATION)
Bloor St W & Lothian Ave area
3:15 pm
-one adult female has been arrested for Mischief & Obstruct Police

Paris macht einfach weiter! Der Nachfolger von Anne Hidalgo und neue Bürgermeister Emmanuel Grégoire hat heute seine Fahrrad-Pläne für seine erste Amtszeit bis 2032 vorgestellt. Hier seine 5 wichtigsten Maßnahmen:
- 140 Kilometer an neuen Radwegen
- 220 Kilometer neue Fahrradstraßen in Einbahnstraßen
- 420 neue fahrradfreundliche und sichere Kreuzungen
- 200 Mio. Euro in den Ausbau der Radinfrastruktur
- Aufbau einer eigenen Polizeieinheit, um gegen motorisierte Gewalt gegenüber Fahrradfahrern vorzugehen🙏
So schön zu sehen wie in Paris der lebenswerte Umbau der Stadt unbeirrt vorangeht und wie die 🇫🇷 Hauptstadt immer mehr zu einer wunderbaren Fahrradstadt wird❤️

Is it too much to ask for publishers of articles advocating for cycling routes on secondary roads in Toronto to require their authors to submit a proposed alternative?
@RDiManno, is this the sort of secondary route you're thinking as an alternative to the Yonge Street lanes?

It’s hard enough for cities in Canada to do smarter things given how often city leaders hurt their own cities. But it’s 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.

This is social murder. People will die and it will be Doug Ford's fault.
The Ford government is set to remove Etobicoke bike lanes next week. thestar.com/ford-government-…

Every single cyclist should take the lane on every street, as is their right by law.
Then these anti-bike lane morons might fully appreciate their benefit.
#BREAKING - “This is outrageous” says Toronto Mayor Chow as she reacts to news that the Ford government will begin bike lane removal this coming Tuesday.
The first lanes to go, I’m told, will be those on Bloor St., West.
