An Ontario law empowering the province to remove three major Toronto bike lanes is being tested in court by a group of cyclists who argue it's unconstitutional.
The province has no electoral mandate to remove protected bike lanes along Doug Ford’s commute.
All ridings where bike lanes were threatened by Ford and his unqualified transportation minister have flipped from conservative to NDP and Liberal.
Bill 212 didn’t get a single delegate in support and experts from every industry have categorically said that removing protected bike lanes will worsen car traffic and increase road death.
He shortened the debate period and rammed it through regardless, tacking on an amendment to shield the province from lawsuits as a result of removing safe infrastructure, an admission of guilt.
The main reason for the charter challenge will be the clause that people can’t sue the government for death or injury as a result of removing the lanes.
