TORONTO POLITICIANS MEET TO DISCUSS COUNCIL SLASHING BILL
Toronto politicians will gather today for an emergency meeting to weigh their options after the Ontario government moved to revive a bill that would slash city council nearly in half. The city challenged the legislation in court and a Toronto judge agreed earlier this week that passing the bill in the middle of municipal election campaign would be unconstitutional. However, Premier Doug Ford is taking the unprecedented step of invoking a constitutional provision to override the ruling.
