Two things:

First, cyclists should start wearing large chains and locks which can be tossed at aggressive / careless drivers. Similar to how pedestrians occasionally carry (usually foam) bricks to motivate the correct behaviour from drivers.

Second, they need to bring this protest to Thug Ford's riding -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etobicoke_North_(provincial_electoral_district) Make his constitents miserable, and you might see a change faster than any other method.

I used to do this and almost got killed for it. It’s all fun and games until you meet a driver who exceeds your crazy.

Those people don't have any issues with trying to kill you anyway. It's the 99.99% of people who don't want a brick through their windshield that you're preparing for.
