No, it isn't a bad thing, it is sort of interesting over there. However most of the threads involve everything but cycling. Furthermore, you have to apply to the forum administrator to go there, and some issues that that involve cycling and politics are unavailable to the average poster in this forum, for example.
But to get back to this thread, I'm still not clear what thr OP means by "backlash" except for remarks by certain political commentators and politicians criticizing cyclists, and the removal of bike lanes in Toronto.
