  • Inside Queen's Park
    INSIDE QUEEN’S PARK Vol. 27, No. 02 GOVERNMENT AND POLITICAL ANALYSIS January 22, 2014 TWO MORE BY-ELECTIONS KEY FOR ALL THREE PARTIES Graham Murray I spent the day before the Niagara Falls and Thornhill by-elections were announced with a bunch of stakeholders who had been invited to the Elections Ontario HQ in Scarborough to offer suggestions on the organization’s ‘Next Generation’ Website. After we served up our demands, together with some blunt criticisms, Ontario elections chief Greg Essensa walked us out across the vast loading floor and along the rows of industrial shelving groaning with plastic-wrapped skids full of voters’ lists, blank ballots, instruction manuals and everything else needed by returning officers to unpack an ‘election in a box’. And primed to pick them up when “the writ drops” is a logistics fleet with more than 60 semi-trailers. Your brush with the pending “election-event” (as they term it in electo-speak) may be fleeting but Essensa, his permanent staff and the thousands recruited to conduct the vote in 107 ridings, are in for a month of late hours. (Back in the day, a provincial election could last for as long as 45 days but the Election Act now requires it be squeezed into a standard 29 days.) Only a couple of those semi-trailers would have pulled out of EO’s Rolark Drive launch-pad 24 hours after our Jan. 17 visit because Premier Wynne had formally initiated a pair of by-elections, in Niagara Falls and Thornhill, leaving the electoral machinery ticking over to await the spring general election which most observers expect to see unleashed a few months hence.

  • Province Moves to Scrap Regional Chair Vote
    This page was exported from - The Auroran Export date: Wed Oct 6 12:39:32 2021 / +0000 GMT Province moves to scrap Regional Chair vote By Brock Weir The race to lead York Region came to an abrupt halt on Friday with Ontario Premier Doug Ford announcing the Provincial government would scrap the election of the Regional Chair in York, Peel, Muskoka and Niagara, with just hours left in the nomination period. In a statement released Friday, Mr. Ford said it was a move to ?deliver better government.? ?We ran on a commitment to restore accountability and trust, to reduce the size and cost of government, including an end to the culture of waste and mismanagement,? said Mr. Ford. ?Because one thing every politician at every level and in every region needs to remember is we all share the same boss. We all work for the people.? In addition to scrapping the Regional Chair vote, a process which got underway following a motion by then Newmarket-Aurora MPP (and now Aurora mayoral candidate) Chris Ballard which was subsequently passed by the Ontario Legislature, the Better Local Government Act also outlined plans to slash the size of Toronto Council by nearly half to align with the current 25 provincial and federal ridings in the City of Toronto. Ahead of Friday's announcement, a number of high profile candidates were in the Regional Chair races, including former Ontario cabinet minister Steven Del Duca in York and, in Peel, former Progressive Conservative leader ? and Mr. Ford's predecessor ? Patrick Brown. The reaction to the move here in Aurora was swift, particularly as electing the York Regional Chair had been a contentious issue around the Council table.
