Fix It Again, Tony

I'm pretty sure that's FIAT.
Are you thinking of Found On Road Dead? Which is what he wants cyclists to be?

Yeah I just like making random KOTH references

"Direct action"? Are we going to lie down in front of the bulldozers?

Not sure, you’ll have to go to find out. I assume it involves bicycles though.
They said attendees would not be at legal risk but declined to explain the nature of the protest.

Cars kill people and destroy cities. It’s that simple. Most of us know some or even many victims of traffic violence personally and we are not going to tolerate the killing any longer.
Most people, drivers and cyclists included, don’t follow the rules of the road very well but when drivers do it, people die. So why are you so fussed about cyclists and not drivers?
These bike lanes are wanted and used by the local people and businesses, but the Premier of Ontario wants to rip them out at taxpayer expense because of his personal biases and the whims of rural voters who don’t use this road much anyway.

I'm not sure of this is sarcasm or not so I'm going to assume you are just not thinking this through. Reducing bike lanes does not reduce the number of bikes on the road. It simply means those bikes will be on the road with cars, which is legally allowed. And once on the road bikes are legally entitled to the entire lane. So the end result of this entire scenario is cars being stuck behind slower moving bicycles. Which I 100% cant wait to see if the lanes are removed. I myself will be cruising at 5km/hr in front of every entitled car driver until the lanes come back.

cruising at 5km/hr
Honestly, that take some skill to do.

Make sure to attach a propane canister or a jerry can to the back of your bike.
