TRILLIUM TALK: Death to bike lanes, long live highway tunnel

Every Sunday morning, one of our legislative reporters from The Trillium provides an inside look at the week that was in Ontario politics — and the week ahead

Welcome back to Trillium Talk, your must-see briefing from Village Media’s team of journalists at the Ontario Legislature. 

Every Sunday, Scott Sexsmith sits down with one of our staffers at The Trillium to talk about the week that was at Queen's Park — and the week ahead.

On the show today is Editor-in-Chief Jessica Smith Cross, whose chat turned into an all-transit episode.

Bottom line: Doug Ford hates bike lanes, loves the idea of a tunnelled expressway under Hwy. 401 — and the Premier is in the driver's seat on both issues.

We apologize in advance for the audio quality on today's episode. Scott was on the road this week for a sit-down interview with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and we experienced some technical difficulties. If you want to check out that Trudeau interview, it's right HERE.
