1. In a few hours @fordnation will convene Legislature at 12:01 AM.

To rush a bill using the notwithstanding clause.

In the dead of night…

@fordnation @RodPhillips01 @MichaelParsa @Andrea_Khanjin @douglasdowney @ToddSmithPC @PrabSarkaria @sandhuamarjot1 @billwalkermpp @janemckennapc @KarahaliosPC 2. He claims this as an important policy matter.

It was not campaigned on.
It narrowly effects Toronto.
It has no real case for support.

This thread will enumerate some of the bill’s impacts for those @onpcparty MPPs who don’t know us, and have been sold a bill of goods.

First, you would deny Toronto residents local representation even remotely on par with that which your local constituents enjoy.

Perhaps a more relevant comparison, you would also deny Toronto residents representation commensurate with those of peer cities.

You use London and Los Angeles as examples, without mentioning London's 32 borough councils, and LA's 97 neighbourhood councils.

Over four years.
$6.4 million / year.
Against an $11B budget.
For a city of 2.7 million people.

1) they are so minute compared to the cost.
2) they likely will not materialize.
