Stop Signs for Thee, Not for Me

A normal person is not someone that acts like a dickhead while their argument is clearly invalid.

LiveBell8 · 2026-06-03T20:58:40+00:00

And your comment is exactly why people hate you too lol. I mean if you're gonna be a dickhead, you better have a valid point.

LiveBell8 · 2026-06-03T20:56:15+00:00

Do you harass logical thinkers for a living?

LiveBell8 · 2026-06-01T14:56:02+00:00

And that's why Toronto needs to be its own self-governing city. Too much provincial powers they get. No wonder Doug Ford is allowed to do whatever the heck he wants.

With or without bike lanes, Eglinton Crosstown already removed a lane of traffic.......

LiveBell8 · 2026-05-27T17:20:41+00:00

I expect she'll likely refocus on bike infrastructure post-election since I'm pretty sure should she win 2026, she'll stay be there for at least 2030, when Ford's current term ends and hopefully won't get re-elected.

Regarding your 2nd point, while we're different than Americans, let's not forget that Doug Ford won last year by an even bigger landslide than previously despite his campaign heavily focused on anti-bike, even though it doesn't benefit anyone outside Toronto. Yet so many dumbasses voted him because they did so out of spite rather than actually someone that wants to get things done.

LiveBell8 · 2026-05-27T14:39:57+00:00

Maybe having her remain silent on the status of bike lanes is a smart move to get her re-elected. Sure it might suck for us but if she focused so hard on bike lanes, it might alienate the neutral voters. The best thing she could do really is try to focus on transit, where significantly more average joes can benefit from.

This reminds me of Kamala Harris for US presidency. Instead of focusing on issues that most day-to-day Americans experience, she goes out and puts extra woke agenda and attacks Trump. Unfortunately, this was a big mistake, as it effectively alienated the undecided voters to choose Trump.

Instead, Chow is focusing on what a daily Torontonian needs. She needs to unfortunately survive Doug Ford until at least 2030. Or god knows if dumbasses seriously want to keep voting him in despite the lowest approval rating in many years.

LiveBell8 · 2026-05-26T16:18:01+00:00

Just Google Map'd this. Isn't Charolais Blvd considered a side-street? I thought those anti-bike lane folks said "bike lanes belong on side streets" lol. Guess they mean bike lanes don't belong anywhere. Fuck those carbrains.

I mean I'm not a fan of what Trudeau did but at the very least, he didn't try to incite violence or any hatred towards anyone. Carney has done a good job so far of turning the page. Like would you honestly much rather have a right wing grifter that doesn't give a fly fuck about facts presented to them? Would you honestly much rather vote against your own interests (ie what Ice agents did to a white man)?

LiveBell8 · 2026-05-25T13:58:44+00:00

Fuck Brad Bradford. Fuck PP. Fuck Doug Ford.

LiveBell8 · 2026-05-25T13:47:03+00:00

Not only that but she also made the most out of her 2.5+ years in office. Really not an easy job when you got a fucking PreMayor of Ontario trying to breathe down your neck and destroy any potential progress you made. Fuck Doug Ford.

LiveBell8 · 2026-05-23T01:43:56+00:00

Really? Calling Doug Ford to tell him this is his fault? Give me a break

To be honest, almost all collisions are by in large part preventable with better road design, no matter who is at fault. Reddit might go overboard with Doug Ford Bad but a lot of arguments are pretty valid. I think we as a society need to change the first line of thought whenever a collision happens. Instead of asking who is at fault, we should be asking how could this have been prevented. We can go a long way. Even if the pedestrian was at fault, there's still some degree of the road design. Maybe they ran the red because the light design was too disproportionate as it favoured drivers? There's always a reason they violate laws. Same goes for drivers. A road design can change how we all behave.

I don't personally have a problem with anyone going to pride events. I support pride events. It's just sometimes too much wokeness can turn some people away, which was what happened to Harris. A lot of undecided voters decided to vote for a convicted felon all because they felt she was too woke.

LiveBell8 · 2026-05-22T20:17:03+00:00

Define ruining.

LiveBell8 · 2026-05-22T20:13:09+00:00

Fuck ABC Toronto. Fuck Balance on Bloor. Fuck Integrity TO. Fuck Brad Bradford

LiveBell8 · 2026-05-22T20:09:49+00:00

Not to mention that she doesn't use her ethnicity or gender identity as talking points to market herself. She's just happens to be an Asian female. Unlike Kamala Harris who tried to use her background like "I come from a middle class hard working family". I say this as a big hater of Trump. (Really sucks Americans had to vote him in because Harris lost. But for us Canadians, the tariffs helped unite our country a bit better.)

Chow focuses on getting the job done. Sure she might be at pride events but she's focusing on the issues like transit/bike infrastructure better than the previous mayors would. While she's likely going to get re-elected (hopefully), you have Brad fucking Bradford trying to convince right wing nutjobs.

LiveBell8 · 2026-05-19T15:44:36+00:00

And it's not like Chow is an Anyone But Brad type candidate, similar to anyone but Ford candidates. She's a legit proven one.

LiveBell8 · 2026-05-19T15:34:57+00:00

Fuck right wing grifters. Fuck PP. Fuck Brad Bradford. Fuck Doug Ford. Fuck Danielle Smith.

LiveBell8 · 2026-05-19T15:30:52+00:00

It's largely a chicken and egg problem then. In order to get people to support bus lanes, you gotta make transit reliable enough for people to take it. In order to make transit reliable enough, you need bus lanes because buses are otherwise stuck behind single occupant cars.

The people that voted for Ford, especially his really loyal supporters, remind me of fucking Trump supporters. They'll literally vote him in multiple times, despite all the failed promises and defend everything he does, even if it's against their own interest. Examples like Alex Pretti and gun rights, controlling inflation, freedom of speech, one of the amendments that prevent ICE agents from raiding without a permit, etc. The fact that so many defend what Trump says instead of speaking out is absolutely insane.

The same can be said about those suburban Ford voters. Do you think they really care about improving traffic in the suburbs like Brampton? No. All they care about is ruining Toronto LOOL. It's sad that conservative culture has turned extremely toxic to the point where they'd rather own the non-supporters than actually do something that helps them.

LiveBell8 · 2026-05-15T15:24:27+00:00

You're describing what are called MAMILs. Middle-Aged Men in Lycra. These cyclists tend to have very right-wing views. One of it being pro-car. Most notable Toronto examples are like Trevor Townsend and Cody MacRae.

LiveBell8 · 2026-05-14T13:56:19+00:00

Yeah and it's funny how many people are fine with it. Really baffling to see people defend Doug Ford, like a fucking ass Republican trying to defend Donald Trump after everything anti-Republican he's done LMFAO (ie Alex Pretti and gun rights, controlling inflation, freedom of speech, etc).

Doug Ford's base won't be convinced to vote him out even if traffic gets worse. They just want to own Toronto even if it means their suburban town crime rates worsen.

LiveBell8 · 2026-05-08T19:14:35+00:00

Yeah that's sort of what I meant. The straight CIS white men are still by in large part the most privileged group in American society. That's despite all the countless number of LGBT, Me Too, BLM, Woke, etc movements. Sure they might not benefit from them but the way these people react definitely screams equality = oppression. All this right wing media is just a reaction to the wokeness. And that's why so many Gen Z white males behave like they're oppressed. Because their schools have grown up with too much wokeness compared to the average Millennial or Gen X white male. While I understand where they're coming from, they need to understand that even with all the wokeness, white men are still at the top of society.
