Capital Link Shipping Sectors Webinar Series - December 2024 - Dry Bulk, Container, Product Tanker, Crude Tanker, LPG, LNG ShippingHundreds of people showed up outside Queens Park Saturday afternoon to push back against the Ford government's controversial bike lane bill that would remove certain Toronto bike lanes to help address congestion. The Progressive Conservative government has been fast-tracking legislation that would require Ontario municipalities to ask the province for permission to install bike lanes when they would remove a lane of vehicle traffic. The bill also goes a step further and would remove three major bike lanes in Toronto on Bloor Street, Yonge Street and University Avenue. Fight for Bikes co-founder Eva Stanger Ross, which organized Saturday's rally, said she uses the Bloor Street bike lanes almost every day. "They are always packed, so it's targeting the most important bike lanes in the city. It makes absolutely no sense." Zev Godfrey (left) and Eva Stanger-Ross are co-founders of Fight for Bikes, a group that is fighting against the Ontario government's proposed Bill 212. (CBC) Without those protected bike lanes, Stanger-Ross said drivers often don't think about the cyclists around them. "They don't think of them as a hazard that they have to watch out for, and it's way more likely that you'll be hit." The rally comes days after new amendments were introduced to the bill, one of which would protect the province from potential lawsuits if cyclists are hurt or killed after lanes are removed. Stanger-Ross said it suggests the government knows removing the lanes will make roads less safe for cyclists. "To me, it shows that the government knows that they're going to be putting civilians in harm's way and they know that people will be killed or injured," she said. "And instead of doing something about it, instead of keeping the bike lanes, instead of addressing it, they're just covering themselves up." Cyclists listen to a speech during a rally Saturday at Queens Park in Toronto against the Ontario government's proposed Bill 212. (CBC ) Those safety concerns have kept Leah Jaunzem from cycling around the city for nearly a year — and motivated her to show up to Saturday's rally. "It's so straightforward and it's so simple: we need to protect cyclists. We have such a problem in this city with pedestrians and cyclists getting injured," she said. "Like, stop with the politicking. This is actual people's lives. There's some things that are beyond politics, and this is one of them." Some cyclists at Saturday's rally also rejected the government's stance that bike lanes should instead be on secondary roads. "Toronto is not a perfect grid and most of the time there aren't streets that run alongside the primary streets for very long," said Zev Godfrey, another co-founder of Fight for Bikes. Godfrey said he thinks cyclists will continue to use the same major routes but be unprotected from vehicle traffic. "Cyclists likes primary streets for the exact same reason that car drivers like primary streets," he said. "They go for a long time, they are less interrupted and also the destinations that you're going to are often on those primary streets." Hundreds of cyclists attended Saturday's rally at Queen's Park in Toronto. (CBC) Asked about the protest, a spokesperson for Ontario's transportation minister repeated government talking points that bike lanes contribute to gridlock in Canada's largest city. "We are doing everything we can to fight congestion and keep major arterial roads moving," said Dakota Brasier. "We support a common-sense approach to bike lanes, and encourage the city to listen to the thousands of drivers to help clear our major roads and get people out of traffic." Last week, Toronto city council passed a motion to formally oppose Premier Doug Ford's plans, following a report showing it would cost at least $48 million to remove bike lanes. Mayor Olivia Chow said Friday she knows first-hand how dangerous cycling without a bike lane can be. "I've been doored on Bloor Street without a bike lane. Now I ride on Bloor Street with a bike lane, I feel very secure. That is because of the bike lane there," she said at a news conference. Chow said she hopes the city and province can "find the middle ground" when it comes addressing traffic congestion.
Why you should keep exercising in cold weatherJubo Dal, Swechchhasebak Dal, and Chhatra Dal will march towards the Indian High Commission in Dhaka today. It will begin from the party's Nayapaltan central office at 10:00am, said a joint press release yesterday. The march, aimed at submitting a memorandum, is being organised in protest the attack on Assistant High Commission of Bangladesh in Agartala, desecration of the national flag in Kolkata, and an alleged conspiracy to incite communal unrest. In the release, leaders of the three organisations of BNP called on leaders and activists to join the demonstration. The organisations planned the programme a day ahead of Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri's visit to Dhaka tomorrow. There will be foreign office consultations led by foreign secretaries of the two countries. It will be the first top diplomatic contact with Bangladesh since the ouster of Sheikh Hasina in August. The meeting also comes at a time when ties between Dhaka and Delhi are under considerable strain over various issues, including allegations of attacks on minorities in Bangladesh. Meanwhile, Indian Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) on Friday announced that activists from over 200 social and cultural organisations will march towards the Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi on Tuesday. The demonstration, coinciding with International Human Rights Day, will be held to protest against "alleged atrocities" on minority communities, including Hindus, in Bangladesh. Rajnish Jindal, co-in-charge of the RSS Delhi unit's media and communications department, shared details at a press conference where he said the march will include representatives of various social, cultural, and religious groups under the banner of "Civil Society of Delhi". He added that a memorandum would be submitted to the Bangladesh High Commission and international organisations such as the UN, UNHRC, WHO, Amnesty International, and ADB, urging immediate intervention to halt the "violence". Former Indian high commissioner to Bangladesh Veena Sikri and ex-director general of the Intelligence Bureau Rajiv Jain also spoke at the event, expressing grave concern over the situation. "This is the worst situation for Hindus and other minority communities in Bangladesh since the Liberation War of 1971," Veena claimed. In another development, hoteliers in Barak valley of the north eastern state of Assam have announced that they would not host any Bangladesh national till alleged attacks on Hindus and other minorities in that country stop, PTI reported from Guwahati. This was announced by Barak Valley Hotel and Restaurant Association President Babul Rai on Friday. Barak Valley comprises three districts of Cachar, Sribhumi (formerly Karimganj) and Hailakandi and shares a 129km-long border with Bangladesh's Sylhet region. A PTI report from Washington said a protest march is being organised by "HinduAction" near the White House tomorrow while another protest would be held by Hindu community leaders in Chicago today.
Dear Eric: We live on a lake and love hosting our great-nieces and nephews on school breaks and the entire family on vacations. My husband and I have no children. Our niece's families are dear to us. Our 11-year-old great-nephew has been gaming now for about a year. When he comes to visit, instead of reading or playing cards or board games with us, he wants to disappear with his video games. We feel vacated. How do we navigate this with his parents who think his being on a video gaming team at school is awesome and I think it is a bad omen? What is a fair place of compromise and balance? — Game Off Dear Game Off: Let his parents parent their child. The other night I re-watched the movie "Network" from 1977. In it, a character in his 60s dismisses a character played by Faye Dunaway by saying, "She's the television generation. She learned life from Bugs Bunny. The only reality she knows is what comes to her over her TV set." People are also reading... Every generation has anxieties about the ways that technology is changing social interactions or altering the minds of the generations below. While some of those concerns are valid, those of Faye Dunaway's generation (now in their 70s and 80s) would argue that they've managed to stay quite well-rounded, despite TV. In moderation, video games have been shown to improve a child's cognitive function and working memory. While your great-nephew's gaming might not be your choice, it's important that you not seek to undermine the research and thinking that his parents have done about it. What you're really yearning for is a sense of togetherness as a family, so try talking to your niece and her spouse about group activities you can plan to meet your great-nephew where he is. Dear Eric: I eat at a local restaurant a couple times a week and tend to get one of three meals. This one waitress asks me what I want to eat, but then interrupts me to make guesses or tell me my choice. I just put my head down and nod yes or no to the guesses. It's frustrating, but not life-threatening. She enjoys it. I hate it. However, if I were to say something, it would force her to make the choice of being herself, doing something she likes doing, or appeasing me so I can order the way I want to order. I don't know if this is a big enough problem to have a "high road." The answer will not change my life. She can easily change, and I can easily suffer. The question is who gets to be themselves? — Speaking Up Dear Speaking Up: I worked in the service industry for more than a decade. I loved it. I loved seeing regulars, meeting new people and carrying a lot of beverages in my hands at one time. The whole bit. I also loved knowing what people wanted, but I would always ask and confirm. That's part of the job. She may think you're a regular who likes to be known in this way. So, informing her that that's not the case won't be keeping her from being herself. It will be helping her to do her job better. You may not have the kind of temperament that easily or comfortably course-corrects in social situations. That's just fine. But know you won't be causing her suffering by saying something like, "I've already decided on my meal. Let's skip the guessing today and I'll just tell you." This also clears the path for the two of you to talk about something else, if you want. Send questions to R. Eric Thomas at eric@askingeric.com .
