Anyone see a problems here. Hearsay 3 times removed.
I want to see what he said in context. For all we know this was riders riding the wrong way and that city streets badly need repair (in which case his statement about not supporting bike lanes might have continued ... at least not while we have so many streets badly in need of repair.
Or he could be a total idiot.
But I want to judge him on what he said in context.
Rob Ford told that to the Toronto Star, where Joey "AccordianGuy" deVilla no doubt read it with the rest of us. The Toronto Star doesn't too often report what a blog said a council member said as a direct quote. Mr Ford's statement is complete in it's context, he states his position & gives his admittedly flawed reasoning behind that position. It isn't taken out of context in the least.
