It's happening, the worst mayor Toronto has ever had is removing three major recently completed bike lanes at tax payer expense. That's right, Ontario tax payers are footing the bill for Ford to meddle in Toronto municipal infrastructure. This is of course to distract us from failing healthcare and education while appealing to his mostly car centric base.

There is a protest happening Wed. 23rd of October, please come out if you can. https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/rally-ride-for-road-safety-tickets-1045417761667

I fear this is going to be a campaign where most of the planks are "hurting the right people". Expect talks of mandatory treatment that won't amount to much because they won't even pay for voluntary treatment right now, but will still inflame hatred against the poor and homeless.

Yup. Anything to distract the populace as he pushes private healthcare and education.

HHHMMMM. I can see Doug sending a bunch of unwilling people to expensive private health care where investors get most of each dollar the government spends. Plus, they would basically be prisons, so that's the wedge for private prisons in Ontario.
