“‘This obsession with bike lanes is, frankly, not helping anyone. And if, instead, the government stayed in its lane and focused on things like helping cities with transit, that would be a real improvement for Torontonians.’ Longfield said the money could be used to fix growing pains in opening Toronto’s new Line 6 Finch West or to finally open the long-promised Eglinton Crosstown LRT, both of which are under the jurisdiction of the province’s Metrolinx corporation.” — Ethan Lang, CBC News

Is Doug Ford Mayor? Is Doug Ford the same drug addicted Doug Ford Mayor?

Doug Ford is Premier of Ontario.

His brother, Rob Ford, was mayor of Toronto from 2010 to 2014. He passed away in 2016, and he's the one who admitted to smoking crack whilst mayor.

They're both idiotic conservative assholes and I have no idea how so many people in Ontario support them.
