I don’t know, man, maybe it’s all the amplifying of Nazis on you platform, the stiff-arm salutes, the joking about Nazis, the cozying up to Germany’s far-right, your family’s history of supporting apartheid, the support for eugenics, the Nazi font hats, and, you know, the whole movement you’re in.

I wonder if this whole blanket-25%-tariff-to-Canada-and-Mexico threat is just that. A blustering threat intended to sow confusion and chaos for a while to let the moving pieces fall to a place where a proper deal could materialize.

I honestly can't understand the stubborness of the political will behind removing bike lanes in Toronto. It's a net good - why mess with it?
In summary, Ford's bike lane removals will, according to a new City Hall report:
- Cost $75 million in direct costs and sunk costs.
- Make traffic much, much worse for at least nine months during construction to remove lanes
- Have minimal long-term impact on car travel times.
