The underlying argument of the entire PC party and Doug as its leader is the consolidation of power back into the status quo and entrenched interests of the "majority" (drivers personified) at the expense of the safety and well-being of the "minority" (everyone else, including other drivers).

To extend the argument, car culture is carrying the water for a lot of the desires of the dominant overall culture to stop sharing power and space (literal and figurative) with those who don't share the same values. And it's very selfish and entitled.

"I should be able to drive over the posted speed limit if in my judgement alone it is safe to do so, and also these bike lanes are what is slowing me down. My personal needs override the needs of anyone else, be it the law, other drivers (who are less important than me) and certainly cyclists"

Maybe he'll raise the speed limit on all city roads to 110km/h next
