Shawn Micallef: Doug Ford’s attacks on Toronto got you down? Try these seven local democracy hacks to feel less helpless https://www.thestar.com/opinion/contributors/doug-fords-attacks-on-toronto-got-you-down-try-these-seven-local-democracy-hacks-to-feel-less-helpless/article_b238cdc0-3bd1-443c-a861-ba55db60f503.html > There effective ways to overcome the feeling of helplessness as a result of recent moves to take away local democracy in the province. But quickly before Ford transfers all the powers that should be local, to himself. “There are Kafkaesque government moves like Ford banning speed cameras, with latest figures showing this has led to a surge in speeding of over 400 per cent on some Toronto streets. Minister of Transportation Prabmeet Sarkaria said that to make streets safer “we need to install infrastructure like speed bumps,” yet his own government is preventing cities from installing safe infrastructure like bike lanes.” #ONPoli #NeverVoteConservative
