Transcript - Students for Democracy Campaign Launch Video

Rehan Mazid: Ontario’s municipalities are under attack. Earlier in the spring session, the Ford government passed Bill 100, also known as the Better Regional Governance Act. This act allows for the Ford government to appoint regional chairs in Muskoka, Simcoe, Niagara, York, Waterloo, Halton, Durham, and Peel. The Civic Clarity Foundation isn’t staying silent, and we hope that you aren’t either. We’ve launched Students for Democracy, a movement that seeks to repeal the piece of legislation that allows for the Ford government to appoint regional chairs in these municipalities and to give voters back the right to elect their regional heads of council. While the name of the campaign is Students for Democracy, we encourage each and every single Ontarian that cares about democracy and that cares about the right to vote to sign our petition, stay in tune with our socials, and write to the premier using the email template in our bio.
