Don’t mind this silver fox, he’s in a hurry, cause if you can’t even STOP during a pandemic, you’re the epicenter of why our society is failing. I would drag you out of your car if you weren’t speeding too 🤬@TPSOperations @TrafficServices #StoptionalTO @JohnFilionTO #walkTO

SmartTrack was never anything more than a dishonest brand used as a campaign slogan. And we’re still paying for that brand a decade later. With 19 stops fewer, all that remains of John Tory’s promise is 3 stops & a $1.7 billion bill that should’ve never… thestar.com/news/gta/smart…

Take our lanes, we'll take yours! Critical Mass is being organized for this Friday. Plan is to leave High Park at 6:30. Join us and put rubber to road in opposition to Bill 212 and efforts to take out our bike lanes. The fight starts now.

Supposedly, only 1.2% of Toronto residents ride their bike to work. And because of that, the provincial government is pushing through legislation that would remove the existing lanes on Bloor, University, and Yonge. But does that statistic seem a little suspicious to you? 1/

Dear Ontario Premier Doug Ford (@fordnation), My 10-year-old son was identified with a need last year and had to change public schools. I now bike him 2.2km to school in the mornings and he bikes home alone. We use the 8-year-old Bloor Street bike lanes which make the roads safe for him to do this. With the roads full of Amazon delivery vans, speeding Ubers, massive buses, and whizzing food delivery e-bikes my son was nervous to bike alone. We got him a rear view mirror and bike lights and practiced together a few times. He uses the Bloor Street bike lanes which are full of many other kids riding to and from school. You are now proposing to spend $48M in provincial taxpayer money (1) to overrule the wishes of the City of Toronto (2, 3, 4) to rip out these bike lanes, which you know pose a direct safety threat. (5) If this happens we’ll need to ask his grandfather to pick him up in his car. I’ll likely start driving him in the morning more since his grandfather's car can’t fit his bike on the way home. Instead of what we need and want—*more* bike lanes that are proven to ease congestion, traffic, and pollution (6)—you’re proposing I spend more money, use more gas, spew more fumes, get less exercise, and create more car traffic. In 2017 you spoke about bike lanes on @TVO and said: "You're nervous when there's no bike lanes. At least I was. We have to make sure there's never a death in the city. One death is way too many when it comes to bicycle riders. I felt so much safer when it's separated." (7) Please reverse course here. Keep the bike lanes. It’s not too late.

Martyupnorth®- Unacceptable Fact Checker
This really pisses me off. I just emptied the receipts from my wallet and I notice this. Last night the waitress gave me my tab, but failed to mention that there was an automatic gratuity of 20%. I paid with "The machine" and gave her another 20% (which was on a total that already included GST and the first tip). So on a $24 tab, I paid $1.20 in GST and a $10.80 tip (45%). To me, that's a waitress that's not being honest, and The Derrick Gin Mill in Calgary just lost a client.

The motorist failed to yield, struck our client & gave him fake info. @HamiltonPolice since Nov 5 haven't charged the driver. Unacceptable. This is the reality of our roads. The reality @fordnation @PrabSarkaria ignore as they aim to rip out the few safe spaces we have.

ICYMI George and Karen's daughter Alex Amaro was killed riding her bike on Dufferin Street in December 2020. They're asking Premier Ford and Minister Sarkaria to stop the anti-bike lane legislation Bill 212. Listen to their story on @metromorning cbc.ca/listen/live-ra…

Mercifully, the city never installed bike lanes on Wellington and traffic moves freely!

John Tory criticizes Yonge, Bloor West bike lanes that he approved. In remarks that align with the Ford government, the ex-mayor told a talk radio host he doesn’t think the cycling infrastructure he helped install "works." torontotoday.ca/local/politics…
