So according to six #HamOnt councillors, @cameronkroetsch.bsky.social resistance to Doug Ford's #Bill212, is part of a "War on Automobiles"?
Here's Part 1 of my attempt to find the language they found threatening and "divisive". 🙄

Car ownership (dependency) itself is expensive. But what if we, I don't know, focused on expanding transportation options beyond cars? What if we changed regulations so that automakers were no longer incentivized to build giant SUVs and trucks? No, we'll just cut back on safety features? Okay.

Governments treating access to affordable groceries, like it treats access to affordable golf? 😱
As part of his bold new vision for Canada, Avi Lewis, the progressive vying to lead the New Democratic Party, has proposed a series of "public options" for everything from groceries to telecoms to banking to address the nation's cost-of-living crisis.
NDP Candidate Avi Lewis Calls for 'Public Options' to Fight High Costs of Groceries, Housing, and Telecoms in Canada
“When people are being gouged at the checkout aisle, on their phone bills, and in their rents, it’s clear that the market is failing,” Lewis said.

Doug Ford handing murderous drivers a lifetime ban on driving is pretty clever when you remember that he is also making roads so unsafe that the murderous drivers have a higher chance of bring killed while walking or cycling.

Clearly Doug Ford just wants police budgets to consume an even larger slice of municipalities' budget pie.
"increase on fines for operation of a commercial vehicle without a functioning speed limiter."
But no problem with a 16 year old or an 80 year old, driving a 1000 hp, 9000 lb Hummer EV.
