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". 🙄

Isn't NationalPost owned by a US hedgefund?

Cllr Cooper continues to cite climate change as a reason to add lanes to the Linc/RHVP, after all cars melt glaciers even when they're stuck in traffic.
Climate should be the obvious and biggest reason for that Metrolinx report request. #HamOnt

Unlike 1995 there's no social housing budgets for Liberals to cut.

They got out of funding housing & now we live in midst of that particular generational mistake.

CBS News just aired a long profile valorizing Justice Anthony Kennedy without even once mentioning the Citizens United ruling that he authored and that empowered corporations and oligarchs to buy elections.

This omission exemplifies how the master plan works.

Their career mantra has literally been “government is the problem”! They’re more than comfortable!

REPORTER: We know the president moved forward with mass layoffs. We're also learning there were significant cuts to staff at special education services. Are you comfortable with those cuts?

MIKE JOHNSON: I haven't seen the specifics of that and I don't know

Hamilton's Police Service Board meets today to discuss a 2026 budget that proposes to increase spending by nearly 10 per cent, more than double Mayor Andrea Horwath's "Hold the Line" 4.25 per cent budget directive. #yhmcc #HamOnt

AI is one giant ponzi scheme:
Nvidia plans something similar.
Nvidia gives OpenAI $100 billion.
OpenAI said thanks—and spent it all on Nvidia chips.
Basically, Nvidia buys its own chips.

But this is Doug Ford and Cllr Cooper knows that. It's clear they both imagine only more car lanes, but a request for a study would at least put the ball in the province's court.

Here is Ward 8 councillor Cooper asking if there's any plans to expand GO Transit service onto the mountain.
Which got me thinking, we really should be asking #Metrolinx for a feasibility study for that, before a hugely expensive Linc/RHVP expansion!! #HamOnt

When you put the "government is the problem" people, in charge of the government.

"Though robotaxis have notched up impressive growth, they look ploddingly pedestrian compared with far zippier pedal-powered rivals. [Waymo] proudly proclaims that its cars do around 250k trips a week. Yet in NYC alone that number of trips is made every three days using the city’s bikeshare scheme."
Forget EVs. Cycling is revolutionising transport
Pedal power is booming, spinning up a new culture war
