Alberta government wants power to remove municipal councillors, repeal bylaws it doesn’t like
A new bill would give the Alberta government more power over municipalities, including granting cabinet the power to remove councillors from office, and forcing councils to repeal bylaws the province doesn’t like.
The bill would also allow the creation of municipal political parties, but it comes in the form of a pilot project only affecting Edmonton and Calgary.
Cabinet has had the power to force municipal councils to amend or repeal land-use bylaws and statutory plans for 30 years. Bill 20 extends that power to all bylaws passed by councils.
Hmmm….preventative moves to ensure woke cities can’t impose their will over all citizens??
Like 15 Minute Cities ?
