Queen’s Park - Doug Ford has cited over a hundred issues caused by bike lanes, amping up his plea for the removal of the lanes on many of Toronto’s main streets, saying “From bad TV shows to iffy haircuts to pesky squirrels to rough toilet paper, these bike lanes have wreaked havoc across the city." When asked if the real problem might be the massive increase in drivers over the last decades, Ford replied, “Don’t kid yourself, the bike lanes are behind that too."
