Ontario's not-so-strong mayor plan

from This Matters Hosted by Toronto Star

Guest: David Rider, City Hall Bureau Chief Ontario has brought in new legislation to give "strong-mayor" powers to the mayors of Toronto and Ottawa. As it turns out, there are some strings attached. "Strong-mayor" powers generally are supposed to help a mayor cut through red tape and push their agenda through, but now it is clear mayoral powers will be tied to provincial priorities and it's unknown how those will be decided. Many experts feel that while this will make the mayor stronger in council, it will make them more beholden to the province.
