Municipal politicians could be fired for serious misconduct — and barred from running for four years — under new legislation introduced by the provincial government.
The article from The Star discusses a proposed bill by the Doug Ford government in Ontario that would grant the province the authority to remove municipal councillors for misconduct. This legislative move comes in response to ongoing issues with integrity in municipal governance, highlighted by recent controversies involving Toronto city councillors. The bill aims to address situations where local councils are unable or unwilling to enforce accountability. It would empower the province to intervene directly, potentially firing councillors found guilty of misconduct, thereby ensuring that municipal representatives adhere to a standard of conduct. Critics argue that this could lead to political interference, while supporters see it as a necessary measure to maintain integrity in local politics. The legislation is part of a broader debate on the balance of power between municipal and provincial governments.
