With Bill 212 passed, Highway 413 is in and bike lanes are out | The Narwhal Ontario’s Bill 212 empowers Doug Ford’s government to move ahead with Highway 413 without a full environmental assessment, and to rip out three Toronto bike lanes

If you're just catching up on Ontario's Bill 212, it passed yesterday.

Here's a rundown from me of what that'll mean for Highway 413, the Bradford Bypass and bike lanes in Toronto and beyond. (Spoiler alert, traffic will not get better)

It’s not “common sense” to ignore the people who’ve spent their whole adult lives learning about something complex. Imagine someone coming to your place of work, whatever it is, and telling you that you’re doing everything wrong because “common sense.” What would you think of them?

Cycling is ten times more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities Active travel can help tackle the climate crisis earlier than electric vehicles – even if you swap the car for a bike for just one trip a day.

Riding bikes is 10X more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities. And that’s just the climate emissions. Doesn’t include the massive public & personal cost, the air & noise pollution, the huge space difference, etc… @theconversation.bsky.social

Has no one on Trump's team suggested a flat-earther to head NASA? That seems to be the missing piece.

Renewables need less energy:

Electricity generation ~2x less (by not throwing heat in coal and gas away).

Heating ~3x less (by using heatpumps that make 3 kWh heat from 1 kwh electricity)

Cars ~4× less (combustion engines waste ~80% of energy)

Here’s something we’re not talking about enough in Ontario.

Every province and every city in Canada, North America and the world are competing with every other province and every other city.

This dangerous dumpster-fire of deranged decision-making is damaging Ontario.

That’s 100% certain.

I’d sure like to see a lot more men vilifying all the well-known ones accused of sexual assault, human trafficking and sex with minors.

It’s not normal to do those things and they’re reprehensible pigs that deserve to be ostracized and prosecuted.

Surely others feel this way?

Just a reminder that when Ford plays at being mayor, putting lives at risk, and making his government immune from prosecution is that the almost $50 mil price tag could be hiring rural doctors and keeping ERs open #onpoli

The worst part of all this awfulness is that she is doing it all to get on TV to get Trump’s attention.

No sexual assault or human trafficking. Just good old-fashioned corruption, it seems.
