Today Doug Ford will attack Toronto’s autonomy, and choice for safe streets. As well as our right to choose how we get around our city, and to do so without getting hurt or risking our own safety.
Get ready Ford. There are FAR more cyclists now compared to 2012.
Oct 13. Tom Riley Park Parking Lot. 5pm-late. Bring food, water and layers.
Be prepared to arrive earlier in case crews try to do a sneak attack removing protect lanes and infrastructure.
This fight is more than just about bike lanes.
It’s about demanding municipal governments be respected, and fighting an authoritarian who believes he can do anything against a city’s own wishes.
This is your Dutch moment Toronto!
Show up to show your support!
You are entitled to disagree. You are not entitled to lie.
I am a daily commuter cyclist and I do believe you are overreaching. The user to whom you replied, should be allowed to lie. Their lies should be countered with arguments, not censorship. Besides, lying is not against the rules of this community.
Misinformation (along with bad-faith argumentation in general) is uncivil and thus violates Rule 1. I do consider context and often give the user benefit of the doubt that they might have just been ignorant or mistaken (which is when I let other replies correct them), but this instance – combined with the bigotry, remember – was egregious and obviously purposeful trolling.
Absolutely!
And just because you disagree with someone, it doesn’t make them a liar.
