Stop Bill 20!
Bill 20 is a toxic piece of legislation that seems to give the province too much overreaching power into municipal jurisdiction and also allows for candidates with political affiliations to run. This allows for provincial persuasion in local municipal affairs. It also would allow the province to dismiss councillors and overturn bylaws. These are municipal issues, not provincial.
Why is this important?
This legislation is truly undemocratic at its core. At a municipal level, we take pride in voting for local people who know the local issues to be mayor and council and represent their areas fairly and informatively. Bill 20 would render municipal elections pointless and would give the province far too much power over a jurisdiction that is not theirs and they actually hardly fund anymore. Please join the campaign to stop Bill 20 before it destroys our cities and our province. Let's stop this nonsense!
