After starving Ontario public education of funding, Premier Doug Ford wants to send police into schools to oversee the dysfunction he’s enabling.

A bill put forward by his provincial government would enable cops to conduct programs in schools, reversing years of organizing that had removed them.

I live in a suburb of Kingston, I'm with you. City says it wants to increase transit and active transportation modal share, but the budget jsut goes to... more care lanes.

That said they have been putting in protect bike lanes as they redo streets, so there are some positive things happening here.
