Uninformed commentators: “no one who works in the Financial District bikes to work.”
People who work in the Financial District:
Two ways to genuinely keep kids safe on their way to school:
Speed cameras, which this government outlawed.
Bike lanes, which this government is ripping out.
Every parent wants to know their child is safe on their way to and from school. It's a peace of mind we want for every student, in every community.
From kindergarten to high school, student safety is everyone's responsibility.
This School Bus Safety Week, I remind all drivers to slow down, stay alert and take extra care around school buses and school zones throughout the school year.
Businesses nestled in residential neighbourhoods are in huge demand all over the city. There are many in my area and they are beloved by residents.
Not everyone is scared of things!

Here’s an excellent example of how the mainstream media irresponsibly helps stoke populist fear and division; 2/3 of people feel completely safe, but they choose to frame it in this way.

Counterpoint: I believe the best thing about Canada is that, the second you become a citizen, you are as fully and undeniably as Canadian as me and every other citizen in this big cold crazy country. Bring your accent, your experience, your willingness to run for public office

Evening rush hour first day back after a long weekend, Bloor Street. Can’t say I’m seeing the purported traffic chaos.
Lots of bikes, though.

I'm sorry, do we normally lead with the minority result in polling?
By the poll's own results, 65% of people do feel safe in their own neighbourhood after dark.
