Colby Cosh: The Globe in shambles over losing right to bike lanes
🔮 Cycling advocates sued on Charter of Rights grounds, claiming that the removal of the lanes would expose them arbitrarily to “grossly disproportionate” risk of injury and death. assertive

Colby Cosh: Naheed Nenshi is completely fumbling the trade war
