https://streetsoftoronto.com/will-the-so-called-strong-mayor-serve-premier-instead-of-residents/ Bill 3 assigns the mayor the power to do virtually everything of importance normally done by city council. The mayor can determine the organizational structure of council, including the number of wards; the way that community councils function; and so forth. The mayor can appoint committee chairs and deputy chairs — something that is normally done by the committees themselves — as well as for agencies, boards (such as hockey rinks) and commissions. The mayor can hire and fire city staff, except for a few positions, something normally done by council as a whole by majority vote. Now the mayor can direct council to do what they want, something that has always been prevented under the current system. The mayor will prepare and approve the city budgets. All these powers can be challenged only by a two-thirds vote of council, something very unlikely because the mayor will entice at least a third of council with chair positions and other perks. - Streets Of Toronto #erinmills #mississauga #onpoli #TOpoli #mississaugaresidents #ontario #mississaugaerinmills #standingupforyou #newbluepartyofontario
