It’s to cover the funding that Ford took away

Ideally it would give you the same coverage you have now

I hear you.

The Region reported that we will lose nearly $300 million over five years due to Ford's Bill 23.

Pickering already reported nearly $2 million lost because of it, and we're just getting started.

If you want something worse, Ford scrapped his ideas of listening to municipalities before breaking them up and is just going to have his committee decide

That’s going to raise costs massively for everyone effected. Who handles water for Durham if there is no Durham? Does everyone need new infrastructure to accommodate a new source?
