“该花的钱要花，该省的钱必须省。一个既能省钱又能提高政府效率的事情闹腾了这么久，也是无语了。有些事情，比如难民，还存在一个人道主义与接纳能力平衡的讨论余地，土豆也不完全错。但裁减市议员减少支出提高效率这么明显正确的事情也有人激烈反对。只能说，反对的这些人玩政治保饭碗高于民众的利益。而民众也通过这件事情能看清这些政客的真面目，从而抛弃这些人浮于事腐败的蛀虫。好事多磨。福特这次干得漂亮！”

渥太华市议员23人，渥太华人口964,743，一个人代表41,945人。也得砍啊！留8个人。

多伦多，４７　—〉　２５

连夜加班，真辛苦。

Overnight debate of Bill 31, which would reduce council by nearly half, concludes around 7 a.m. ET

Premier Doug Ford vowed to "cut through the political games and delay tactics" before the wrap-up this morning of a rare midnight sitting of the Ontario Legislature to speed up the passage of a controversial bill to cut Toronto city council nearly in half.

Ford promised to do "whatever it takes" to address the "crumbling infrastructure right underneath our feet," shortly before the debate of Bill 31 concluded after seven hours.

"Our plan would replace a broken City Hall, one where meetings can last for days and nothing gets done — a system that isn't working," he said during the session.

Bill 31, introduced and passed through first reading with overwhelming support from a Progressive Conservative majority last week, would see the number of councillors in Canada's largest city dramatically slashed to 25 from 47. It aims to align the city's municipal ward boundaries with provincial and federal electoral districts — with a little more than a month to go before Toronto's municipal election.

MPPs will return to Queen's Park for question period at 10:30 a.m. ET Monday.

MPPs够辛苦。

While you were sleeping: Ontario's MPPs spent seven hours debating the Doug Ford government's #Bill31 , which would override a court decision and cut the size of Toronto city council, just weeks before municipal election day. #onpoli cbc.ca/news/canada/to…

大夜班啊，还得加白班。这是什么精神啊。

不是不能裁减，裁减也可能是合理的。

问题是不能在选举开始后改变选区或者减少选区。时间选得不对。
