This bill is anti-democratic…

This bill is anti-democratic, intrusive over-reach by a provincial government that is out of step with citizens, and seems to be targeting Toronto specifically for inappropriate and unwanted micro-management.

It gives the impression that Premier. Ford is still smarting from having lost Toronto's mayoral race in 2014 and, ten years later, is still sulking. For a man who claimed to be "for the people", this is small-minded, wasteful, and bad policy.

Ontario's planners, municipalities, BIA's and citizens oppose this interference by the provincial government into our local affairs, which we are well capable of managing ourselves.
