What the hell is going on in canada? This is bizarre

Same as exactly everywhere else: conservatives have universally understood that they don't have any solutions but don't need them as culture-war brainrot and unfettered populism works much better anyway. So they now simultaneously fight every bit of progress ever made no matter if it's in society, technology, infrastructure or whatever...

My country does not have a culture war over bike lanes, that sounds insane… But I get it in some sense its similar to other conservative tactics
