@ABmunis finds the provincial govt’s ‘top-down’ approach to be heavy-handed & unnecessary. It seems like a short-term political calculation that could influence long-term governance decisions at the municipal level.

It is cause for concern, & we worry it may set a dangerous precedent. After all, if the provincial govt can amend the MGA whenever a local govt disagrees with it or wishes to take a different approach, then municipalities will have lost some of their autonomy…
