Episode Details

Ontario’s top court just sided with the province in a fiery legal battle over bike lanes, overturning a lower court ruling that called the government’s move to remove them “bad faith.” The appeal court argued that while the judge was right to be concerned about cyclist safety and lack of evidence linking bike lanes to congestion, courts shouldn’t police political decisions — that’s voters’ job. Critics say the ruling undermines fact-based policy, especially since no real data supports removing bike lanes. Meanwhile, ministers from both Ontario and Alberta hail it as a win for “common sense,” but experts warn that ignoring evidence isn’t common sense — it’s dangerous. Ultimately, the decision hands control back to elected officials — and us, the people, to hold them accountable.
