Doug Ford VS Toronto Bike Lanes: The True Story
On the Trail with Isaac Peltz and William Wilson
The epic saga of Doug Ford's hatred for the bike lanes has been slowly trickled out over the past year of arguments, court cases, rumours, and finally the loss of the Ontario Progressive Conservative government against Cycle TO and their legal team.
Never before has the whole story been put into one piece like this. In this first ever piece interviewing the key players of the Doug Ford VS Toronto bike lane saga, Isaac Peltz and William Wilson hit the road and cycle through every event of the court case, the drama, and run head first into the data that surrounds everything. Join us as we rip apart the bike lane (saga) and give the TRUE FULL story of what happened.
Our main players in this documentary: Doug Ford, the Premier of Ontario
Michael Longfield the Director of Cycle TO
David Shellnut, the Biking Lawyer
Andrew Lewis, lead lawyer for Cycle TO
Albert Koehl, activist and Enviro Lawyer
Trevor Townsend, co-founder of Keep Toronto Moving
We invited Trevor and Mr. Ford to speak to us. Trevor yelled at us for about forty five minutes and didn't speak to us on camera. Mr. Ford refused to answer our phone calls. If they respond eventually, or if they see this video, we would be happy to do follow up interviews with them and present their views and their side of the story, since we're certain we did not present it in a way that they would want.
They can easily reach out on Instagram or at my email or phone number, all of which they have.
