"This is how democracy dies in Canada — we give it away

With the passage of Bill 39, Premier #DougFord’s government just took away the power of the majority of city councillors in #Toronto and #Ottawa to make decisions on the most critical issues facing our cities. Instead, he has given that power to one person, the mayor, and one third of city council. It makes a mockery of the most basic principle of democracy — majority rule."

Opinion | This is how democracy dies in Canada — we give it away
