Alberta transportation minister wants bike lanes gone, critics say stay in your lane

This isn't even about transportation policy. It's literally just "He's not hurting the people he needs to be hurting" policy.

Working class conservative voters get nothing out of a conservative government other than potentially hurting other working class people they've been taught to hate.

Yeah, 132 avenue is really critical to the provincial road network. /s

The scale of stupidity on display here is honestly humbling. He's talking about a 2-lane residential collector road. It's literally 5 blocks away from a freeway the city just spent a billion dollars expanding. Don't know how to merge? No problem! There's an 8-lane monstrosity with traffic lights 5 blocks in the other direction. As you can see, the road network in that area is already massively overbuilt. The concern over losing driving lanes/parking spots is ridiculous in general, but to try to apply it to this road is so preposterously disingenuous, it verges on parody.

I would also like to add that the province of Alberta withheld over $100M in disaster relief from Jasper because the town wouldn't commit to building single-family detached housing. Just to give you an idea of how far they're willing to go to own the urban libs.

Is Alberta just Canada's Texas? Full of Republican morons?
