Executive Committee: Toronto Politics

executive committee: It super PACs for local elections, according to Toronto Star. Chris So / Toronto Star Mon., Dec. 5, 2016 The City of Toronto executive committee has just driven a stake through the heart of a modest proposal to make municipal elections less divisive and give newcomers a better chance of winning. This brings dark money into Toronto politics. At the same time, the door has been opened to allowing outside groups to advertise during municipal election campaigns, raising the prospect of more big-money influence in city politics. The first move came late last week when the executive committee voted 6-3 against setting up an independent citizens panel to study bringing in ranked ballots for the election of 2022. Taken together, the moves are a double-whammy against the hope for fairer and more civil politics in Toronto. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
