I know that saying “I’m disappointed” are not strong enough words to describe what the Government of Alberta did to democracy today. Local autonomy is about to be shoved out the door. They want local governments to be an extension of the Premier’s rule. Ugly. Ugly. Ugly.
This bill is a middle finger to the people of Alberta. Local decision making in your muni? Pfffft! “We don’t like a bylaw your residents asked for- get rid of it! We don’t like your council asking for schools and doctors and housing- Cabinet will just get rid of ‘em!”
