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

Surely the title should be “Ford is removing…..”?

This is how media language choice helps people like Ford. When it's buck a beer, they say the Ford Government, when they're closing a hospital, it's Ontario.

We see this this in American media too.

Perhaps the article title got updated, it calls out that these are Ford's comments.
