    Unfortunately traffic is become a hot button issue in the GTA. That’s why Ford is ripping out bike lanes and talking about tunnelling under the 401: Even if these policies aren’t good long term solutions (or even short term solutions), they definitely win votes in the 905 right now.

      You can’t win in Ontario without winning the 905, and this actively helps achieve that.

      In order to get progressive policies, progressives have to get elected first. So if you want bike lanes back with an added bonus of congestion pricing and transit pricing, this is a reasonable trade
