What the Alberta Lieutenant Governor is suggesting in this instance is that she get independent legal advice as to the validity of the Act if and when passed, which will surely come back as it being ultra vires.

Don't know if any of the Canadian/US posters have a view on NDP's MP, Niki Ashton, but had a work call with her Chief of Staff earlier, who was a delightful man, tbf.
Extremely helpful and obliging.

Because the boundaries of the relevant constituency were set to include the outlying areas with very high assholic quotients.
The City of Toronto has changed substantially over the years: the city annexed or amalgamated with neighbouring communities or areas 49 times from in 1883 to 1967.[18] The most sweeping change was in 1998, when the six municipalities comprising Metropolitan Toronto—East York, Etobicoke, North York, Scarborough, York, and the former city of Toronto–and its regional government were amalgamated into a single City of Toronto (colloquially dubbed the "megacity") by an act of the provincial government. The newly created position of mayor for the resulting single-tier mega-city replaced all of the mayors of the former Metro municipalities. It also abolished the office of the Metro chairman, which had formerly been the most senior political figure in the Metro government before amalgamation.

So, after the fucking lunacy of the crack-addled Rob Ford years, he offered a steady hand at the wheel and that's just what people wanted.
Thing is, he swore he'd only serve two terms...and then he ran for and won a third, which upset a lot of progressives. As someone wrote yesterday, if he'd gone back to private life, there's no way The Star would have run the story. It would have just been tittle tattle and they'd not have done it. But as the (just reelected) mayor, they had to.

"Tickety-boo" = the Mayor was carousing with an underling < half his age, while Premier Ford (brother of late crack-Mayor Rob) is selling off protected provincial land to developers who attended his daughter's stag-and-doe* and made undocumented and unreported cash 'gifts' to the lovely couple.
So...all good here.
