That's a decent W

Note that they put the ruling at the bottom of the article; I didn't initially see it and was having a hard time finding the text online.
Also note that the government appears to be appealing the ruling, so probably going to be more to the story.

So, I'm studying law, and this was one of the first things I analyzed. I expected the constitutional challenge would win.
I suspect if they're granted leave to appeal higher, it'll lose there, too.
But as always, there are ways the government of Ontario can push it through despite a court ruling.

This title and article confuses me. After reading the article it seems like there were a few lanes of traffic that were originally normal road lanes, but had been converted to bicycle only lanes at some point, and they are now talking about converting them back into normal traffic lanes. Where is the law in this? This sounds like a civil engineering exercise not a legal one. Did someone sue the government over this? The article title made it seem like the government was trying to ban bicycle lanes, but the article paints a very different picture.
Edit: I'm talking about the title of this post that says "Canadian judge rules law to remove bike lanes is unconstitutional, cyclists have a right to safety"
Edit 2: did the article title change after this was posted? If not this post seems to be violating the rule that the post title must match the article headline.

Ontario court strikes down Ford government's plan to remove Toronto bike lanes
Where does it say they want to ban bicycle lanes? They want to remove bicycle lanes on three main streets

Ah, now that I check it again the actual article title is different from the title posted on here. I was referring to the title on here.

The brainless premier of Alberta is attempting to do the same with Edmonton and Calgary bike lanes.
Have these fucks ever even walked? Like be a pedestrian in Alberta for 1km and if you had a brain you would understand those intersections are already way too wide.
Have you seen Doug Ford?
