Let me very clear. If you don’t use a car, you are not part of society. You refuse to support the oil industry. You should be shamed, endangered and attacked.
It’s a trend In canada of provincial leaders trying to prevent bike lanes.
Like, they lost their weird obsessive fight against bike lanes in cities and towns that wanted to do it, so they go a level up and just impose it from there.
NIMBYs are demanding to talk to the province’s manager.
Then everyone else should also talk to the province’s manager.
Everyone else hasn’t paid their bribes yet

So much stupidity in this article. The hospitals were worried about ambulance delays, when the proposed bikelanes are two way, i.e., they are wide enough to serve as a dedicated emergency lane in a pinch.

Not to mention that reducing drivers often reduces car crashes and injuries, so long as the drivers that switch to biking are adequately protected. So overall there will be less strain on healthcare and emergency services. This is even before factoring in the health benefits cycling has over cars. Someone who switches to biking for 20 years is likely to have less health concerns as they age.
Seems like a whole lot of overreach. Overruling a democratic decision with the stroke of a pen is not how we do things in Canada.
Except that it is becoming that way.
Ford is fighting the courts to destroy bike lanes and public healthcare. Smith is imposing every fascist ideal possible on her province. Poilievre said he’d use the NWC to get his way if he becomes PM.
Modern conservatives worldwide are behaving dictatorially. They are - to a person - small-minded, self-interested, fearful, hate-filled, loathsome authoritarians, who frequently wrap their abuse in religion.
Or entire political system is based on the idea that even corrupt politicians will mostly try to serve the people, to some degree. We now have politicians and supporters around the world who are willing to murder people and burn the world down for their own short-term gain.
The sooner we understand that, the sooner we can fight them.
Modern conservatives worldwide are behaving dictatorially. They are - to a person - small-minded, self-interested, fearful, hate-filled, loathsome authoritarians, who frequently wrap their abuse in religion.
And they have literally always been this way since conservatism as an ideology was founded. They are fundamentally opposed to democracy and crave power over others.
The problem is their supporters look at burning the world as progress.
It has been slowly happening more and more in the last decades, and I fear that it will continue to get worst.
Sure it is. We actually have a long history of this, and our governing structure is set up to do exactly this.
We’re just not so used to seeing them blatantly mimic deeply umpopular Americans.
Houston said he remains hopeful that “common sense will prevail,” and asked council to reverse their decision by Aug. 6. Council’s next regular meeting is scheduled for Aug. 5
Conservative have really just become cookie cutter clones of each other parroting the same phrases without ever saying anything of substance.
Canadians and people around the world could save so much money by replacing these people a set of dice.
replacing these people a set of LOADED dice
FTFY
Fucking hell, this bastard. I knew we were in for a shitty government, but does he have to listen to everything the hicks want?
With great power comes great stupidity.
Wait . . .
Tim Houston is acting poorly.
Tim Houston is a Conservative. He can’t act any other way.
Fuck Tim Houston. Little prick.
