Protesters in Toronto are calling on an engineering firm to cancel its contract with the Ontario government to help remove some city bike lanes, alleging the removal will endanger cyclists and worsen the climate crisis.
Fridays for Future Toronto says in a social-media post that protesters demonstrated at Stantec Consulting offices Tuesday morning, and police say two people were arrested for trespassing.
what. what. what. I think I misunderstood this whole thing. They are actually removing them? I thought it was more like they were not going to make more and let them rot type of thing.
It makes me unhappy that this didn’t penetrate the awareness of so many people in Ontario, despite receiving literally world-wide coverage. Good ole’ Worst Case Ontario.
granted im not canadian so I was not very invested and was just reading headlines. I just sorta assumed.
You misunderstand the hubris of the Ford government.
It’s a full removal of lanes that were recently put in because they believe adding them worsened traffic despite evidence showing the contrary.
Your tax dollars at work! Do we need to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure? Nah we need to save that money to tear down what little we have.
fuck yeah, I’ve never wanted a car, give me bike lanes and high speed passenger rail, please!
