The provincial government…

The provincial government doesn't understand its cities like the municipal governments do, nor does it understand the wants and needs of its constiuents. This is something that municipal governments are entirely capable of doing on their own, and the province does not need to intervene. In doing so, they're throwing around their power for no good reason.

It's clear this is a politically motivated proposal, designed purely to appease a certain sect of voters in the GTA whom are likely to vote for our current premier. If our premier wants so badly to change how Toronto works, he should run for mayor of the city instead.
