I remember the day politicians worked for the people.

I didn't know you are an alien that existed before Earth had life on it.

[-] Beero@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

This guy's a bloated turd, probably smokes crack all day like his brother did.

[-] apftwb@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

If the bike lanes go out. Use the whole lane.

[-] Professorozone@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Well done Toronto. Got my fingers crossed for you.

[-] infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net 99 points 3 days ago

This is the proper response to someone literally trying to destroy your city. You have to show up to the battle.

Wow the Ford administration is full of assholes huh?

"The province plans to remove 19 km of protected bike lanes on Bloor, Yonge and University. After the delay, Transportation Minister Prabmeet Sarkaria took to X to vow that the intention is still very much clear. “Work to restore vehicle lanes on Bloor Street West was scheduled to begin tonight but was halted by protesters. Make no mistake: these bike lanes are coming out. We have a clear mandate and we will deliver,”"

What is this mandate he speaks of? Lol that sounds like some bullshit.

[-] ContriteErudite@lemmy.world 54 points 3 days ago

Mandated by their wealthy and corporate patrons.

[-] Madagaskar_sky@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago

Mandated by his petty little ego and his hatred of the people who denied him. He has a hate boner for the city, and he'll use all the power granted to him by the suburbanites to destroy it.

[-] freebee@sh.itjust.works 25 points 3 days ago

A bicycle is a vehicle. They are vehicle lanes so no change required...

[-] CoffeeSoldier@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

Obv. The Fords are going to be pro car.

[-] spacegoat@lemmy.world 59 points 3 days ago

How is Doug Ford still in power

[-] mcv@lemmy.zip 18 points 3 days ago

Wasn't he the cocaine guy? Or was that his brother?

[-] 42yeah@eviltoast.org 2 points 2 days ago

That would be Rob Ford! Cool video by BobbyBroccoli: https://youtu.be/nACJOKV_YYA

[-] ProperlyProperTea@lemmy.ml 11 points 3 days ago

That was his brother, if my memory recalls correctly.

[-] olafurp@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

The thing also known as crack cocaine?

[-] treesquid@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Crack is a form of cocaine.

[-] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago

Yeah and it’s different from snorting it

[-] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 5 points 3 days ago

Bobby Brocolli has a video series on the Ford clan.

[-] stoly@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Enough hateful people living in the rural areas I guess.

[-] ssfckdt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Cannot figure that guy out. Sometimes he's based and other times he's a gorram fash

He'd fit will in New Hampshire, actually

[-] Armok_the_bunny@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

He's a fascist that sometimes wins easy brownie points by opposing Trump.

[-] Horsey@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Fascists dislike other fascists because they threaten their power.

[-] infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

He's a fash all the time, fash do pander, don't be fooled.

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 44 points 3 days ago

"But protests never work" Hmmmmm

[-] HerbGrower@slrpnk.net 27 points 3 days ago

They work a lot better when you are directly obstructing the action you are protesting against.

[-] Madzielle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 42 points 3 days ago

Amazing Job Toronto!

[-] Apollo98@sh.itjust.works 39 points 3 days ago

What a fucking asshole.

[-] VAK@lemmy.world 28 points 3 days ago

Well done Toronto!

[-] Akasazh@feddit.nl 19 points 3 days ago

Why is that guy still in a job?

[-] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago

Such a carbrain politician.

[-] Bane_Killgrind@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 3 days ago

City of Toronto should pull all permits for companies that agree to do this work.

[-] infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net 9 points 3 days ago

Hey Ontario, how are you still allowing that mini Trump this kind of power?

[-] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 16 points 3 days ago

Ironically he's gotten more popular by pushing back against Trump even though he's basically the same guy with the same opinions. Nationalists sure are stupid.

[-] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world -5 points 3 days ago

Meanwhile in the states: "Duh, both sides, all government bad, what's on Hulu?"

[-] infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Buddy the day after this they called in the riot squad to arrest the protestors and ripped out the lanes anyway. We're glass house neighbors.

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 days ago
