- Reposted by Martin ReisToday cyclists lead by @fridaysforfuture.bsky.social went to Stantec's office to ask them why they're helping Ford destroy safe infrastructure. Instead of speaking w these concerned citizens, Stantec employees called in Toronto Police who dragged out and arrested two people for trespass to property.

- For context. Stantec is the company which was hired by the Ford Government to remove the bikes lanes in Toronto. www.torontotoday.ca/local/transp...
