Since when does the Premier of Ontario get to decide what a municipal government does?
Since that's how it works. The province has full control over cities.
However we haven't had such a massive idiot trying to virtue signal like this as premier before.
Huh, interesting. I just looked it up to get more info, and this is kind of a bum deal that municipalities are "given" power by the province, so they just have to eat shit on getting it right or wrong, and then can potentially be overridden by a zealot like Ford anyways. Awful...

Always municipalities only have the power they the province grants them.
