Right... There is WASH court, but I'm gonna bet he gets put over by the JP given the nature of the charges.
Plus... Dude has to find a suitable surety willing/able to sign. 'Not an easy thing to do when all your friends are on bail, probation or parole themselves.
Of course he could do what a lot of these thug, gang-banger tough guys do and get his mom to bail 'em out.

On the out of control bicycle issue the provincial conservatives have taken a stance that the the city's bike lane goals have to be controlled. The city, in essence, replied "Mind your own business"
It's a very complex issue, trying to fix problems that should have been foreseen a century ago.

Like what elevation to put the hovering traffic lights for the flying cars? We were promised flying cars years ago.

Kinda sad that the province has to step in.
Toronto belongs to everyone, not just a handful of woke city councilors. Everyone in Ontario pays for Toronto City Council dysfunction - at some point, an adult has to step into the room.
I wish the province stepped in to regulate the power municipalities wield over citizens when it comes to creating congestion. The number of new stop signs, traffic lights, and reductions to provincial speed limits is mind-blowing.

Because they don't really want to do anything to fix decades of bad planning, instead we get least effort solutions, of more stop signs, traffic lights, and red paint for bus lanes. Instead of better planned or improved infrastructure. I feel the city will grind to a halt in a few more years. No wonder Doug threw out the wild idea of a tunnel.

Doesn't Doug have anything better to concern himself with - like the rest of Ontario ?

Don't forget the Ferris wheel for the waterfront ?
I'm surprised the Deputy Mayor isn't wearing a khalif during her press interviews.

Ontario is his lane. If Toronto is sick, it impacts the whole province. 25% of the province lives in Toronto proper, 50% in the GTA.
He's trying to get homes built, people moving, and setup the province for economic prosperity. We're on our way to being a battery-making giant -- with integrated minerals, raw material processing, and manufacturing. We can go forward as leaders in health sciences and finance too.
For all this to work, the center of economic activity has to be functional, meeting the greater needs. We need housing, we need transportation to work, and we can't have people pushing things backward.
I think Toronto brought this onto themselves. If you look at all the 'success' touted for Bloor and University bike lanes, the stats are puffed-up stuff. Where are the time for money arguments that compute the financial losses of doubling drive times for couriers, delivery services and others requiring motorized transportation? How about the pollution increases caused by doubling drive times?
I'm not against bike lanes - I'm for putting them in places that offer a good compromise between vehicular and cyclist wants.
I'm not for the cycle lobby and woke city council controlling what parks we can access and where we surrender space to the lobby.
Amen. The city should be spending every spare cent in the transportation budget on the TTC, which was in awful shape pre-COVID and is now a total disaster. Instead they choose to force niche seasonal transportation modes on people while creating artificial gridlock, all while the key to moving people efficiently is transit.
All municipalities in Ontario exist at the leisure of the province, he could dissolve Toronto tomorrow provided the bill passes the provincial legislature. This is how it works here, like it or not.

And you lost the election for mayor and still hold a grudge.

The GTA (416/905) should be a stand alone province. More people here than pretty much all of Atlantic Canada put together.
