It's better than that.
Ford has been in power since 2018. In his first two years, his admin advocated for and pushed through legislation specifically to allow speed cameras to be installed in municipalities. This may have been leftover legislative planning from the previous party, but in either case it rode through with conservative favour.
Political interests have since shifted, and with his most recent term as Premier, he's been loudly admonishing any municipality that installs speed cameras, bike lanes or other traffic calming measures because he's parroting nonsense about how it restricts traffic in high density areas and is making a stink about how it all just increases congestion.
It's dangerous, stupid and frustrating. He's made threats to municipalities thay don't agree with his declarations, attempting to deny typical grants allocated to improving infrastructure in smaller regions.
