'Justice Paul Schabas has crowned himself the decider of bike-lane policy in Toronto, and Ontarians can't vote him out for it' https://t.co/weiy9LEbRb
An Ontario court has ruled that the law enacted by Premier Doug Ford to remove bike lanes is unconstitutional. The decision has sparked debate over judicial authority, with some critics arguing that Justice Paul Schabas has effectively taken control over bike lane policy in Toronto, a matter they believe should be determined by voters. The ruling has been described by some commentators as an extension of judicial activism, recognizing bike lanes as protected under the Canadian Charter of Rights. The case has drawn attention to broader discussions on urban transportation safety and infrastructure, with some advocates highlighting the benefits of alternatives such as roundabouts, which have been shown to improve safety, reduce costs, and lower pollution in other municipalities.
