Chow, Ford strike collaborative tone on future of Toronto bike lanes
Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow appear to have found middle ground on the future of bike lanes in the city as the province looks to rip up 19 kilometres of cycling infrastructure on three major roads. Chow said Friday that city staff have identified areas where car lanes can be restored while keeping bike lanes intact and that her team is currently looking at technical drawings to determine their feasibility. 'So, I think that's a solution that can be arrived at through collaboration, which is what we're doing right now,' Chow said after joking that she and Ford rode a tandem bicycle to Friday's unrelated news. Ford's government passed legislation last year to remove sections of bike lanes on Bloor Street, Yonge Street and University Avenue. The legislation also requires that municipalities ask the province for permission to install a bike lane if a lane for cars would be removed. In April, lawyers for a cycling advocacy group challenging the removal of those bike lanes were granted an injunction, which paused the provincial plans until a judge decides on the constitutionality of the case. The Ontario government is appealing that decision. Ford lashed out at what he called 'bleeding heart judges' following the injunction being granted and suggested that Ontario should elect their judges, like they do in the U.S. However, he struck a more agreeable tone on Friday. 'I want to work collaboratively with the mayor, and when it comes to the bike lanes, we had a clear mandate in the last election, but the fact is, we're talking about three bike lanes, and hopefully we can find alternatives and work with the mayor and with the city staff. That's what we want to do,' Ford said, adding that he doesn't 'hate bike riders or bike lanes.' Ford said while the conversations about bike lanes on Bloor, Yonge and University are ongoing, '98 per cent' of the city's other bike lanes would be 'left alone.' It's unclear which areas along those three major streets have been identified as viable options to reintroduce a car lane, but a source familiar with the plan told The Canadian Press in April that it includes returning two car lanes to University Avenue near the city's hospital row, and narrowing the bike lanes and removing on-street parking. The province didn't reject the idea and said it was 'open' to the idea, so long as the city funds their portion of 'their identified infrastructure needs.' With files from The Canadian Press

N.B. Official Opposition accuses premier of ignoring potential for ‘province building project'
Premier Susan Holt says New Brunswick is at the forefront of multiple 'nation building' energy projects following this week's First Ministers' meeting in Saskatoon, while interim Progressive Conservative Leader Glen Savoie says the governing Liberals are ignoring natural resource development within the province. 'She's interested in national building project. How about a province building project?' said Savoie about Holt during Friday's question period. Savoie said the Liberals and Holt have historically stood in the way of natural resource development in New Brunswick, mentioning pipelines and shale gas exploration. Holt responded to Savoie's comments during question period, saying the Progressive Conservatives weren't effective on developing natural resources while in power. 'He's said they always supported this development. But did they get it done? No,' said Holt. 'Our government is pragmatic. We're looking at what's in front of us and what opportunities will benefit New Brunswick.' Holt has heralded federal support for prioritizing the Eastern Energy Partnership as a success from the First Ministers' meeting. The partnership which would transmit hydro and wind power from Atlantic Canada and Quebec to Western Canada and New England. Holt also said there were positive conversations with Quebec Premier François Legault about extending a natural gas pipeline from Quebec City to New Brunswick. 'We have opportunities to take advantage of the resources that Canada has already developed and already unlocked for the benefit of our province as well,' said Holt. 'We're looking at what we can do tomorrow, where's the investment opportunity, what's going to benefit New Brunswickers, and how we can use our strengths to succeed nationally and internationally.' At the First Ministers' meeting, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith indicated she was focused on developing potential oil pipeline routes from her province to northern British Columbia and Hudson Bay to avoid any route through Quebec. Holt said she was interested in what role New Brunswick could play as an eastern market if a pipeline did go to Hudson Bay. 'With a $600-million deficit, you'd think she'd get on board and develop our resources here,' said Savoie, about Holt. 'They would rather pipe a pipeline in because of their NIMBY policies, their 'not in my backyard' policies, that say it's okay for Alberta to profit from its natural resource development but not New Brunswick.' Friday was the last day of the first session of the 61st Legislature. Legislature The New Brunswick legislature is pictured.
