Back in 2010, the notoriously pugnacious Toronto mayor Rob Ford declared that "the war on the car is over," and vowed to halt the city's expansion of bike lanes, transit, and anything that inconvenienced motorists even slightly. Fourteen years later, his brother — Ontario Premier Doug Ford — has continued the family crusade against bike lanes. The Ford government is pushing a bill that would require provincial approval of all bike lanes that repurpose car lanes. If it succeeds, it will have a chilling effect on the ability of cities and towns of all sizes to manage their streets and keep people safe. Plus, a handful of existing bike lanes could be ripped out.
Journalist Sabrina Nanji, a veteran of the Queen's Park Press Gallery and the founder of the Queens Park Observer joins us to talk about the politics behind Doug Ford's war on bikes.
