I also wonder if council and city management considered to lessen their workload by reducing requirements OR increasing the budget to deal with the new reality? It seems weird that cities so often forget that they live at the whim of the province and continue to think they can set their own agenda.
There's no doubt that the Ford government doesn't give a shit about the bad deals it passes down the chain to municipalities - but there's also no doubt that municipalities would rather let things crumble than raise the funds needed to do their new, and arbitrarily changing, jobs.
