Cyclists say this will put them in danger.

    I assumed something like that. But like what’s the BS rhetoric he’s running with to garner support from the crazies? Why would it help even with an insane view?

      Mainly it’s just a typical conservative culture war thing. Bikes are for the elite leftists, so we must get rid of them.

      The usual argument against bike lanes is that they take away space from cars and therefore make traffic worse. It doesn’t matter to conservatives that this isn’t true, and they actually reduce traffic.

      He capitalized on anti-urban sentiment amongst rural folk, anti environmentalism, a fictitious ‘war on cars.’ I’m not sure what else. Most of what he does these days is give away (ie, privatize) parts of this province to his corporate buddies
