I fully support the proposed amalgamation of CA's and forming regional authorities which will be overseen by a newly formed provincial governance model.

People should have learned from problems of amalgamations of local governments that did not lead to efficiencies and made lawmakers more remote from constituents.

Doug Fords plan for managing our water is wrong. Leave the decision making the way it is.
Always passing decisions no one agrees with. What is wrong with this guy...im tired of his convoluted ideas.
