What right do you have Mr. Ford overstepping a municipal government elected by the people?

“We get democratically elected, and some judge slaps an injunction on bike lanes. Don’t the judges have anything better to do than worry about if we’re taking out bike lanes or not taking out bike lanes?” Ford said.

Yes they do have better things to do, but you're the one overstepping your power Doug. The people and politicians in Toronto fought for decades for those bike lanes and these judges are doing their job in protecting those decisions and the rights of people who depend on those lanes.
