Petition: Call for a Meeting of City Council on Bill 39

Mayor John Tory is working closely with Doug Ford to pass a disturbingly undemocratic power grab (Bill 39) that allows the mayor to win votes with the support of only a third of city councillors.

This is happening without consultation with residents and without any discussion at Toronto City Council. Mayor Tory went directly to Doug Ford to ask for these powers. Over 6,000 people have signed our petition opposing Bill 39. Now it’s time to use our tool to send a message to your local city councillor and the mayor requesting an urgent meeting of City Council on Bill 39. Find out more and sign the petition.
