Today Doug Ford will attack Toronto’s autonomy, and choice for safe streets. As well as our right to choose how we get around our city, and to do so without getting hurt or risking our own safety.
Get ready Ford. There are FAR more cyclists now compared to 2012.
Oct 13. Tom Riley Park Parking Lot. 5pm-late. Bring food, water and layers.
Be prepared to arrive earlier in case crews try to do a sneak attack removing protect lanes and infrastructure.
This fight is more than just about bike lanes.
It’s about demanding municipal governments be respected, and fighting an authoritarian who believes he can do anything against a city’s own wishes.
This is your Dutch moment Toronto!
Show up to show your support!
Lemmy, where pointing out something you diagree with gets you deleted by the mods
I’m a poor trans mentally ill person. I ride a bicycle for many reasons. Two of those reasons is that it’s cheaper than a car, and My disabilities make it difficult to drive. The others mostly have to do with a sense of ethical responsibility and hatred of cars.
I don’t like being run over by cars, so bike lanes are pretty nice for Me personally. I think it’s pretty disgusting how you framed your anti-bicycle agenda as feminist, antiracist, and pro-worker. It’s a good thing the mods removed it.
I bet you’re wealthy enough to own a car, and you’re happy to poison the air that poor people breathe, just to get to work faster.
