I heard that ever since one protester heckled the fuck out of Rob Ford and got the sobriety coach so incensed the coach kicked the protester that Doug's attitude is now "If they so much as breath arrest em all"

100% - I despise Toronto cops. This what they do when they aren’t helping organized crime. I have never had a single positive interaction with a cop in 20 years, a bunch of untrained goons who forget that they are there to serve US and protect US and not demand our obedience.

Provincially speaking Canada has a Conservative Party, the Very Conservative Party, the Holy Fuck Guys WTF? Conservatives, Gimmie da Bag Conservative Party, and any Quebec sovereignty party. Ontario has the Gimmie Da Bag party and business goons wanted the lanes gone.

This is so stupid. Pay for bike lanes Small group complains to Ford Pay for court case for Ford Pay for appeal for Ford Now Pay for police to protect bike lanes Pay to have bike lanes removed. Do you know how many people we could have helped with this money. Winter is coming...

The cyclists aren't going to stop riding their bikes instead of driving cars just because you get rid of bike lanes. What's actually going to happen in a shit ton of car-bike accidents and a whole lot of law suits.

The province knew that what they are doing is going to kill cyclists so they pre-emptively passed legislation in bill 212 that appears to prevent cyclists from suing for damages for accidents resulting from ripping out bike lanes. If you want an example of appalling, murderous cynicism…it’s Ford

Feels like this post is going to escape containment while I’m sleeping, so I just want to add that in a way it’s gratifying that people caused such a fuss about the bike lane removal that this absurd overreaction was necessary for Doug Ford to satisfy his petty grievance.

(Alt text: a line of cops three deep standing on Bloor St in front of a bike lane in the process of being removed)

Why are the police only present to stop anything leftist or progressive. Remove a bike lane and there's an army of police. Protest the genocide in Palestine and get arrested on trumped up charges. Occupy parliament with trucks and police are powerless. Ask USA to separate Alberta and crickets.

Seeing as both organizations would get on their knees and suck for his dick, I doubt Chow actually has very much. It’s actually under the city's governance structure that the mayor of Toronto cannot fire the chief of police. Only the Toronto police service board has the authority to remove him

This chief police hasn’t cared since the moment he started with the organization and look where he is now the level of corruption and literal crimes against Toronto communities physically being committed by police officers right now is catastrophic and the bus stops with him

And since they are loving his hard on against cyclist I highly doubt he’ll be going anywhere anytime soon. I wouldn’t be surprised if he voted for Ford and seeing as Ford loves to wear his OPP hoodies to his PR events you know that they are in his pocket as well.

Let's take a big step back and look at what's happening. A wannabe authoritarian government is destroying public infrastructure by force. This is a test run of their power.
