Bill 20: The Municipal Affairs Amendment Act has been described as authoritarian, an attack on local democracy, massive overreach, and a stripping away of Albertans’ rights. The UCP government introduced this Bill following their proposed legislation that would block municipalities from accessing federal funding unless they ask for the province's permission.Â
The UCP government is ripping away the ability of municipalities to effectively serve Albertans and the rights of Alberta voters because they think they know best for every corner of the province, and every person in Alberta.
