This is such a municipal issue it's annoying to see the Province wanting to butt in in the first place.
This is what bugs me about the Ford government
They want none of the responsibilities or finances of a provincial government, and they constantly want to step in to municipal issues and politics.
Remember how he fucked with TOs city hall?
When they show you who they are, believe them.
What do you expect from a conservative government? This cuts into oil consumption and green alternatives. Can't have that!
Municipal government is an extension of provincial government. City councils have no real power, in effect they merely advise. Their authority comes from the provincial government, who can overrule any decision they make, and even substitute their own.
This is not well understood. I don't know if it is different by province but it's definitely the case in Ontario. The Ontario provincial government can do anything with cities, including dissolve and create them.
