The bureaucratic waste generated by inter-municipal governance "situations" in this province is really insane.
eg.
Langley Town and City
North Cowichan Municipality and City of Duncan
Beaver Creek, Cherry Creek, Sproat Lake districts and Port Alberni City
The various Victoria municipalities and their squabbles.

The province should just amalgamate them…

Years wasted. Millions of dollars.
