Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi Attacks Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s Toronto Plan

The Canadian Press, 27 Jul, 2018 01:01 PM
  • Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi Attacks Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s Toronto Plan
Calgary's mayor is attacking Ontario Premier Doug Ford's plan to cut the number of Toronto city councillors and cancel votes for other municipal elections.
 
 
Naheed Nenshi says Ford made no mention of his intentions during Ontario's recent election campaign and calls the premier's move "tinpot dictator stuff."
 
 
He says it's not fair to change the rules in the middle of the game.
 
 
Nenshi says Ford's planned legislation could affect all mayors, and he is urging Toronto Mayor John Tory to fight it.
 
 
Ford announced this morning that he will introduce legislation to cut the number of Toronto city councillors to 27 from 45.
 
 
He says he will also cancel elections for regional chairs in at least two major municipal areas, Peel and York.
