B.C. government says more oversight coming for dysfunctional municipalities
The ongoing dysfunction in the City of Kamloops has gotten so bad that the B.C. government is considering major changes to the oversight of feuding city councils across the province.
“I’ve come to the conclusion that this type of behaviour just cannot continue to go on … it is our goal to have something in place before the next election,” said Minister of Housing and Municipal Affairs Ravi Kahlon, responding to the latest back-and-forth accusations between Kamloops Mayor Reid Hamer-Jackson and the rest of city council.

Inconvenient truths about municipal governance
A commentary by the vice-chair of Grumpy Taxpayer$ of Greater Victoria, a citizens’ advocacy group for municipal taxpayers.
There are inconvenient truths.
To our dismay, there’s no municipal government for Greater Victoria that’s directly responsible to voters.
Instead, there’s a patchwork of 13 neighbourhood municipalities, three electoral areas and the Capital Regional District that delivers 200 or so services region-wide or through a shared-service delivery model.
