  • Huh, interesting. I just looked it up to get more info, and this is kind of a bum deal that municipalities are “given” power by the province, so they just have to eat shit on getting it right or wrong, and then can potentially be overridden by a zealot like Ford anyways. Awful…

    • Arts and Culture
    • Child Care
    • Economic Development
