I'd like to hear an argument about the government's ability to dissolve a board, and also dissolve the judiciary, given the allegation that my comment was "fundamentally incorrect".
EDIT: As you know, boards are created and maintained by the government in charge, who also control the terms of reference. In fact municipalities themselves only exist if the province allows it (see the Municipal Government Act*). Contrast with the judiciary, which is fully independent, and constitutionally protected.
I know you have posted this area of law is your bread and butter, but at least admit this.
*Further Edit: This is why Nenshi is asking for a City Charter, or at least one of the reasons.
