Not one more dollar to Car Culture
Target:
Legislative Assembly of Ontario
Sponsored by:
Every time another poor automaker comes begging for money our
governments cough it up. $17 million here, $200 million
there. Then - "sorry, we don't have money for transit or bicycle
infrastructure." The auto industry dominates our economy.
It also destroys our our ability to live and breathe on this
planet. The government is supposed to protect the public
health. It's time our money stopped supporting the very thing
that is killing us, and was put to positive use. Let's put
Ontario to work in sectors that need working on.
That's the essence of this petition.
Here's how it came about:
Our friend Jon divorced his car. We painted it all white and made it into a petition. The text on the windshield reads:
We the undersigned do hereby demand that NOT ONE MORE DOLLAR go to promote, support, or perpetuate CAR CULTURE. We want bike lanes, public transit and a train system. We want our public space back. We want local food, clean air, sustainable industry, a liveable future for our children, & an end to oil wars. We want to dance in the street. We want a government that values life over money.
More than 4000 people have signed the car and the paper version of the same petition. However, we discovered that petitions must be submitted in a certain formality of language to be accepted by the government. So we were forced to re-write the petition as you can read and sign here.
This petition car will be delivered to the Ontario Government on April 22, Earth Day, with a parade from Belleview Park in Kensington Market, up Augusta Ave to College St., then east to Queen's Park. We'll leave at 1pm, hoping to arrive at Queen's Park by 2pm. Then we'll head inside to hear the reading of the formal petition at 3pm.
Please join us.
Here it is:
TO The Legislative Assembly of Ontario:
WHEREAS Car Culture has destroyed and alienated our communities and dominated our public space; WHEREAS equitable mobility is a right, and transportation is a need to all, including the young, the elderly, and those who refuse to drive; WHEREAS Ontario is sorely lacking in infrastructure for active and public transportation (ie. In most of the province there is no choice but to drive a car); WHEREAS a reported 26% of Ontario's economy is directly linked to an auto-manufacturing sector that year after year has proven volatile and unsustainable, requiring billions of dollars in government loans and subsidies under the constant threat of laying-off thousands of workers at a time; WHEREAS Ontario has covered hundreds of thousands of acres of our country's most fertile farmland with concrete highways and suburban housing developments, and whereas our imported food supply is increasingly threatened in this time of climate change; WHEREAS The Ministry of the Environment issued 39 Smog Alerts in 2007, a year with 86 days of air quality at worse than 30 AQI (Air Quality Index); WHEREAS pollution from smog is directly linked to asthma, breast cancer, leukemia, and the sedentary lifestyle of the auto-dependant is linked to the epidemics of diabetes and obesity that increasingly plague our country; WHEREAS Toronto Public Health reports that 440 deaths per year in the city of Toronto are directly linked to pollution from cars, and Ontario Medical Association estimates 5800 deaths yearly in Ontario from smog; WHEREAS the Canadian Institute of Child Health sites traffic injuries as the leading cause of injury and death in Canadian school children; WHEREAS billions of dollars are currently spent on the health system to treat accident victims, victims of smog, treatment of diseases linked to our societies reliance on the automobile; WHEREAS financial decisions made by the Ontario Government have a drastic impact on global climate change and the ability of our biosphere to support life.
WE the undersigned petition the Legislative Assembly of Ontario as follows:
1) Stop any tax-breaks, subsidies or loans to the automotive sector. 2) Create a public awareness campaign exposing the ill effects of automobile dependency. 3) Ban the advertising of automobiles (just like cigarettes). 4) Immediately allocate money to pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, public transit, and an inter-city train system, including programs to help shift our labour force into these sectors. 5) Amend the Highway Traffic act making street closures for community festivals distinct from closures for general road construction. 6) Put a halt to development projects that do not support the use of public and active transportation. 7) Create programs to encourage the development of small-scale, mixed organic and natural farming of food for the local market, with tax breaks for hiring labour instead of labour-saving, pollution-creating machines. 8) Measure the cost of all government spending with a triple bottom line, (including social, environmental and economic impact.) 9) Stop subsidizing the destruction of our farmland, the poisoning of our air and the general ill health of our people. 10) Make policy decisions considering the value of life over the value of money.

Cars are a luxury that man can live without. We survived fine before the 1900's, and we can continue today. The increase in bicylces will result in a narrowing of roads, and the number of car accidents and injuries will disappear. Unless the Human Race decides to drive smart, they shouldn't drive at all.

Twelve years ago today I almost died in a MVA(4-21-96) ... I am truly thankful to have survived and I want to sign this petition on behalf of all my fellow survivors, as well as those who are no longer here to speak out for themselves. It is time people! MY government needs to do the right thing. Stop subsidizing the unsustainable auto industry! Stop syphoning off our food production capabilities! Social and environmental responsibilities ought not to place a distant second or third to the 'almighty economic bottom-line.' Start listening to your citizens, your constituents, and NOT to lobbyists and big business. PLEASE.

I would love to be able to safely go outside again, but with the smog these days, I get too sick. We need to get as many cars off the road as possible, and the only way to do that is to stop subsidizing them and to start working on the alternatives. We want a liveable future!

A vehicle that takes less space to drive and to park? A vehicle that can be made in Canada without the interference of American corporations? A vehicle that is within everyones budget? Get it together!

Instead more money should be put into rail transport for reliable movement of people and goods. Widening of the roads cuts cities and towns into pieces discouraging pedestrian traffic. It makes no sense.

Over 80% of public space and great ammount of resourses are dedicated to the car culture leaving out majority of people to fend for themselves in a society addicted to the gasoline. Public transit mast be free and no-car zones should be established in the heavily populated downtown areas, except for the commercial and emergency traffic. |
