They know bikes are a threat. They're prioritizing the auto industry over citizens.
Canada is one of the world's top 12 producers of light vehicles. In 2020, Canada produced 1,358,657 vehicles. Five global automakers assemble vehicles in Canada: Ford, General Motors, Stellantis, Honda, and Toyota. Canada has nearly 700 parts suppliers, including Magna, Linamar, and Martinrea. The automotive industry is one of Canada's largest manufacturing sectors, contributing $12.5 billion to GDP in 2020. The industry directly employs more than 117,200 people, with an additional 371,400 people in aftermarket services and dealership networks. In 2020, vehicles were the second largest Canadian export by value at $42.9 billion. Canada is currently securing new investments in the electric vehicle value chain, with new firms opening battery and EV-related facilities.
Canada is struggling in the geopolitical climate, and they want to keep and hopefully grow their automotive industry.
It's not to make life better for Canadians. It's not to reduce congestion. It's not to stimulate economic activity downtown. It's not to help emergency services. It's not to help the housing crisis. It's not even because the residents want it. These things are just narratives they spin up to sell the public their bad ideas. I've seen this time and time again in the States.
I've learned that the answer to the question "why don't they just [insert obviously better idea here]" is usually a simple one: "money".
