Priorities, much?

tomwhittaker.bsky.social•96 days ago

You guessed right.
Pure distraction, and we all know who Doug Ford learned that from.

crowceilidh.bsky.social•96 days ago

And the other 95% of Bill 212.

weaseman.bsky.social•96 days ago

Bottom line is Doug Ford has to go. Doug only got in because Ontario didn’t take the time to vote. So lets vote him out or we will have him for another 4 yrs.

True, but Bill 212 is exponentially bigger and more destructive than just bike lanes. See below for Chat GPTs summary:

Bill 212, officially titled the Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, 2024, is legislation recently introduced in Ontario
Key features include:

autistaspie.bsky.social•94 days ago

Highway Construction Acceleration: The bill supports expedited construction of major projects like Highway 413 and the Bradford Bypass. It introduces measures to streamline utility relocations, property acquisitions, and expropriation processes to avoid delays
.

Municipal By-law Overrides: For designated priority projects, the bill allows provincial authorities to bypass certain municipal regulations, though critical restrictions (e.g., speed limits, bridge weight limits) remain in place
ENVIRONMENTAL REGISTRY OF ONTARIO
.

autistaspie.bsky.social•94 days ago

Bike Lane Regulations: The legislation grants the province authority to remove or veto bike lanes where they replace vehicle lanes. This has sparked controversy, as some view it as a political move catering to suburban drivers while potentially undermining urban cycling infrastructure and safety

autistaspie.bsky.social•94 days ago

Environmental Considerations: While focusing on infrastructure, the bill pledges to maintain environmental safeguards and engage communities to mitigate construction impacts like noise and dust

.
The bill has faced criticism for prioritizing road expansion over investments in public transit and active transportation, with opponents arguing that such policies could lead to further congestion due to induced demand

BUT we got paper bags back at the LCBO! What the heck else do we want?

Doug keeps attacking things are important - so many that we get divided into small useless groups.

behindblueeyes27.bsky.social•91 days ago

The bike lane insertion was to distract from the other horrible parts of the bill, but the entire bill is a horror. People will die as a result of the oxygen thief in charge of the province.

starblanket.bsky.social•96 days ago

... yet, in part thanks to an inept media, ignorance is bliss for the folks who fail to understand the difference between Provincial and Federal responsibilities.

sitdownlucy.bsky.social•96 days ago

Few in this province, and likely across the country, know what responsibilities lie with each level of government, and it leads to disastrous voting.

lesliemaggie.bsky.social•96 days ago

Whatever gets people paying attention though, it’s all part of the Conservative package.

naturalwanderer.bsky.social•96 days ago

It is a long list indeed

heidinjoe.bsky.social•96 days ago

but we can get beer everywhere isn't that more important 😂

programmer2.bsky.social•95 days ago

@peipolitical.bsky.social Liberals need start fighting these conservatives premiers. They are gutting our health care system and championing NIMBY causes. Yet Canadians blaming are Trudeau.

sharonharris.bsky.social•96 days ago

Don’t know what news gets to the rest of the country sometimes, but we’ve been freaking about this list for years😆 People are going to die without these bike lanes, and Ford overruled the City to remove them—so we continue to freak

rexjr.bsky.social•96 days ago

What is the alternative? Bonnie Crombie all she did was raise taxes as major of Mississauga. Have you all forgotten the electronic records scandal by the liberals, hydro 1, destroying emails and computers and the grift list goes on. Choose the lesser evil. I support Trudeau but not Ont. Libs.

proudlycanadian.bsky.social•96 days ago

The lesser evil is voting for whoever can beat the con in your riding or the cons will win with 40% for the third time cause of the vote split. Guess you prefer con policies from the sounds of it. Comparing what you listed to the damage Ford has done is ludicrous.

proudlycanadian.bsky.social•96 days ago

ABC is too vague - we have to vote for the party that can win the riding. VoteWell. ca is good cause they push for strategic voting.
