Extra....Extra....Crack smoking mayor removes bike lanes....Read all about it!

Last year I posted this:

Toronto's Mayor is an A**hole.

I saw this over on Bikeportland.org this morning.  I have to repost just so you know these people are out there.  This is the type of misguided politician who makes me want to be an advocate for cycling and pedestrian infrastructure.  Guy looks like he needs to be riding or walking to work a few days a week anyway!



He's actually aggressively spending money to remove existing bike lanes throughout Toronto.  Let's hope that at some point in life he is force out of his BMW and made to use the limited (and apparently shrinking) pedestrian infrastructure he so vehemently despises. 

Shortly after this little episode the standup mayor was accused of doing crack cocaine.  What a guy.  He then spent a ton of his time and Canadian tax dollars to defend himself.  Yesterday, he finally came clean, admitted he might have "tried" crack in a drunken stupor.  (He's been associated with a high level drug dealer at least 4 times, so I guess he liked it.)  Notice he's not resigning.....just apologizing and trying to make it go away.

Anyway, this is the type of guy who spends public $$ to remove bike lanes......a crack smoking moron!
