Ontario’s transport minister: We should only be putting bike lanes in places that make sense (www.thestar.com)

Why stop at removing things like bike lanes? We should also remove street parking, sidewalks, bus stops, crosswalk and crossways, and board up all storefronts. Turn those slow city streets into wide high speed roads so people can get through the city quicker.

Drivers dont stop to enjoy the areas they drive through, they are only driving through to get to their destination on the otherside of town.

The minister's biography line is hilarious.

Prabmeet Sarkaria is Ontario’s Minister of Transportation. He lives in Brampton and drives to Toronto every day.

That's the problem. Not the bike lanes. We need suitable alternatives. Drive to Bramalea and take the GO to Queen's Park you lazy ass, and if it's not good enough for you then make it better, you're literally the person in charge of this. At least you're an improvement over the person from the "sell the 407 for pennies on the dollar" family.
