The structure of municipal governance; and the talent that it attracts (City councils are packed with ambitious political careerists and also rans from higher level of governments), are not capable enough for the responsibilities, the budget, or the decisions that come with a city the size and importance of Toronto. I am all for the devolution of power to big municipalities but not until there has been extensive democratic reform. The following area's quickly come to mind: Term limits for all elected positions, Campaign finance reporting and oversight with stiff penalties; rigorous conflict of interest rules with stiff penalties.
