| Brenda, this
article along with Michael Prue's position indicate to me that the time
might have come for the Province to revisit the entire issue of
Amalgamation. When even those that were supporters now have stated
that it does not work. This indicates to me that it might be, should
be, once again on the Provincial radar as a significant issue of
discourse that needs to be rectified. Those politicians that do not
heed this growing momentum, do so, I believe, at their own peril. The
dysfunction with the current amalgamations are numerous. Amalgamated
cities and their ensuing Councillor's positions are not reflective of
the cultural differences, geographic differences, and economic
differences of previously independent areas that require good
governance. |
