Do mayors need even stronger powers?
from This Matters · host Toronto Star
Guest: David Rider, City Hall Bureau Chief With an eye to an ambitious Ford government housing plan, Toronto Mayor John Tory asked for and received even stronger mayoral powers than he already had been given over the summer. It was a move that caused an uproar in municipal politics. While some councillor called it a power grab, others are calling it an unprecedented, undemocratic move that will sideline councillors even further. How will the new powers work and what will this mean for Toronto? This episode was produced by Saba Eitizaz, Paulo Marques and Brian Bradley.
