It’s a tool that wasn’t asked for by many of Ontario’s mayors, but it seems like they’re going to get it anyway. On Thursday, strong mayor powers will go into effect for 169 municipalities across the province, after the Ford government announced the expansion of the powers earlier this month. Several town and city councils have made moves to voice their opposition to the powers, but there has been no indication that they will be heard.
