Ford passed the legislation for ripping up the bike lanes TODAY!!

Usually I pick solid sources or eyewitness video.
Same approach you should take with all media, check where it comes from, who said it and whether it looks legit.

I don't know the person who made the post but the video makes a point.

What a stupid example. You see that orange sign? The one that indicates a lane closure where two lanes merge into one? Of course traffic is going to be backed up. You have two lanes filtering into one. Same thing is happening daily, both east and west on the Gardiner. Where traffic merges from three lanes to two. Duh!

Its a good example, that's the crap that slows traffic. You can't put two lanes anywhere in downtown without that happening, especially along Bloor and Yonge.

College and Dundas are about the same for driving, with Dundas more often being slower despite no bike lanes.
Its not bike lanes.

You really couldn't make a worse comparison. Dundas, for the most part is limited to just one lane of traffic each way. College, while it does have a section with bike lanes, also has a lot of areas where it has two lanes of traffic each direction, which make traffic flow better. That's the reason Waze will direct you across town on College vs. Dundas. The bike lane has nothing to do with it.

Sure. Right. No orange signs below

Of course traffic is going to be backed up. You have 8, 10, 12, 16 lanes below unable to handle a mass mess of single occupant motor vehicle traffic mayhem.

Duh!

Dundas St. creates its own bike lane organically for the more intrepid cyclist.

It's between all the parked vehicles at the curb, lawfully or unlawfully, as far as the eyes can see and the single travel lane that all these parked vehicles so graciously allow to exist.
