So the city has estimated Ford’s ridiculous bike lane ripout cost at $48 million. Watch Ford with his DIY efforts make it cost $200 million, while healthcare & education crumble. Please don’t invite Ford to any sort of negotiation! www.thestar.com/politics/pro... #topoli #onpoli #bikeTO - ThreadSky

Add that to the other $millions he's wasted on his knee jerk reactions and of course favours to his friends, while people die on waiting list and kids go hungry while attending schools that are falling down.

"Bike Lanes take next step to remove Doug Ford"

normsworld.bsky.social•43 days ago

With one hand he’s ripping out bike lanes under false pretenses of traffic, and with the other hand he’s making rush hour traffic 25% worse with his Ontario Place redevelopment plan. Make it make sense! https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.7438432

Ford hates Toronto. From day one, his actions have shown us who he is. Unfortunately the rest of the province falls for his fake folksy persona, and we are paying the price. Please Ontario, vote him out!!

He’s never gotten over the fact that he lost the 2014 election to Tory. It’s why literally his first act as Premier was to cut the # of Toronto councillors in half, absolute power trip

jeaneng.bsky.social•43 days ago

He is such a small man. Can’t remember his lame justification for it, but how is it that other cities with smaller populations have the same or similar size city council. What a jerk.

gagsm.bsky.social•42 days ago

Hastings-Prince Edward has more than 30 councillors, with a population similar to that of 1 Toronto ward.

jeaneng.bsky.social•42 days ago

Omg, are you serious??!! My blood is boiling.

colleenmr.bsky.social•43 days ago

Looks to like he's committed to being as destructive as he possibly can

citizenkates.bsky.social•43 days ago

Did you see this arms length display ad campaign Ford's undoubtedly behind?

normsworld.bsky.social•43 days ago

Is the ad still running? I thought that was shut down a while ago.

citizenkates.bsky.social•43 days ago

Just saw it in my Google feed yesterday.

normsworld.bsky.social•43 days ago

If it’s still up tomorrow, now it’s an election ad and they need to register as a third party advertiser. They can be reported after that and face penalties.

citizenkates.bsky.social•43 days ago

Not seeing it today but I'll keep an eye out for it.

rzaichkowski.bsky.social•43 days ago

I saw it yesterday as well. That group was formed to counter Progress Toronto, so not sure how the provincial third party rules would apply here.

What’s so stupid about this whole thing is that obviously one day last year, Fordzie woke up on the wrong side of the bed/someone pissed in his Timmies, and while his driver was bringing him down Bloor w/a bit of traffic he said “fuck cyclists, rip out these bike lanes”… absolute cartoon Premier

I'd like to know who he hired.

normsworld.bsky.social•43 days ago

Me too! Can’t find any details in the litany of Ontario press releases today.

astr0b0y8.bsky.social•43 days ago

Buddies have to get paid 😅

rzaichkowski.bsky.social•43 days ago

That would not surprise me at all, Norm. And his reference to the removal of Jarvis as justification for why the $48 million number is too high is invalid given it's going to take a lot more than scrubbing and repainting Bloor, University, and Yonge. Especially the reconstructed parts of Bloor.

normsworld.bsky.social•43 days ago

Yup, those lanes are WAY more than a line of paint.
