Clearly municipalities can’t be trusted to hold the provincial government’s leaders’ financial interests. More bike lanes means more people on bikes, meaning fewer cars being sold, meaning less money available for schmoozing from the auto industry. We can’t have that, it’s bad for the economy, or something.

None of Doug Ford’s friends are heavily invested in bicycle manufacturers, I guess.
