EDITORIAL: Doug Ford's push to modernize transit, ease congestion will be his legacy

70% Informative

Ontario Premier Doug Ford deserves credit for expanding the subway system in Canada ’s largest city.

The Ontario Line will introduce nearly 16 km of track to the fastest-growing city in North America .

Ford is presently being chided from all angles for his stance on bicycle lanes in Toronto , even though it's one of the most congested cities in the world.

The Toronto Star , which dropped the mitts against the Ford family long ago, is unsurprisingly front and centre.

Ford is a lightning rod for Canadian media, most of which has a liberal bias that perhaps explains why they're more interested in tearing him down than proffering policies of their own.

Ford ’s critics seem completely devoid of solutions, repeating tired cliches about how bike lanes are the answer to all our problems and building new roads will only invite more traffic.
