The forced amalgamation of Metropolitan Toronto in 1998 remains a critical focal point for critics who argue that the creation of the "megacity" fundamentally damaged the local governance of Canadas largest urban centre. Critics of the consolidation contend that merging the former municipalities of Toronto, North York, Etobicoke, Scarborough, York, and East York replaced distinct, responsive local representation with a centralized bureaucracy ill-equipped to address localized crises.

BURLINGTON, VERMONT -- Technically, it is very difficult for any state in America to seek independence or to join Canada. The act of a state attempting to separate from the United States is officially illegal. This illegality is heavily backed by case law argued more than 150 years ago, most notably in the landmark 1869 Supreme Court ruling How Vermont could legalize Its path to Canada appeared first on tobj.ca: Toronto Business Journal - Toronto Newspaper.

Welcome to the Quebec Human Rights Tribunal, an institution uniquely dedicated to ensuring that human rights are treated as optional suggestions, or perhaps mild inconveniences to be brushed aside by the judiciary. If an institution is supposed to exist to minimize unnecessary suffering, preserve public confidence, and maximize fairness for the greatest number of citizens, nobody seems to have passed that memo along to the bench.

MONTREAL -- At a recent public event, Chief Justice Marie-Anne Paquette openly lamented the systemic denial of access to justice for self-represented litigants in Quebec. To anyone familiar with the internal operations of her court, the moment carried a profound sense of irony. It mirrored a restaurant manager standing in the middle of a dirty, neglected dining room, loudly criticizing the filth as if they were a passive bystander rather than the individual in charge of the establishment.
