CBC story here recounts a lot of silly activity intended to embarrass and demean the opposing parties as the Provincial General Election campaign gets underway. The video above is a rather amateurish effort to skewer NDP Leader Andrea Horwath for her one-metre proposal for cars and bikes. It has been generally called unworkable. Some Liberal workers decided to see if the NDP truck got too close to cyclists.
Such a rule has been in place in a number of European countries, including Germany, for many years.
