    I am beyond pissed about this. It screams corruption and provincial government overreach.

    Decisions like these belong to the city and the local residents, to our local mayor.

      Doug Ford since day one. He hasn’t been shy about it either.

      Un-fun fact: the laws that allow cities to exist are at the provincal level, which is what allows them to do this. It’s also why they are able to reduce the number of councillors in Toronto a few years ago, and how they can force amalgamation.

      I wonder if as many people would have voted for Doug if they knew this.

      Doug Ford 100% thinks he’s the mayor of Toronto. It’s all he ever does anything about, the rest of the province means basically nothing to him.
