1. I'm very concerned about a non-elected body writing regulations. They are not accessible by the public and cannot be called to account for excesses. Regulations must be approved by an elected body - ie, the Ontario government - so that I can vote for or against them.

2. I resent that a non-elected body - the CA - can impose costs on my municipality without my approval. Those costs become my property tax. Taxation without approval, by a CA that built and maintains a very expensive headquarters, is against Common Law and cannot be permitted. How can a small municipality like mine object to an imposed extra property tax? They can't, unless it is imposed by the Ontario government and not by the CA.

3.Mye municipality's authority to remove a CA's powers is very limited because it is the county, not the township, that wields this power. As the county is dominated by its urban population and not by its rural population, my municipality has no say in the matter of taxation by the CA. That must change.

4. I accept whatever acts and regulations passed by my Ontario government because they are elected, not appointed. I reject regulations not written by my governments.
