The outrage has everything to do with the government change. The new government ran on an environmental platform and some people (looking at you National Post) want to use it to criticize the new government. Never mind the fact that the new government has been in power less than 2 weeks and inherited this problem and that they made the city implement mitigation measures that weren't in place before they took power.
