The envy of the world. With the brains, energy, talent and drive to run our own affairs. We think it's time we were treated that way." A new City Charter for Toronto has been proposed by city residents and is now live online at CharterCityToronto.ca. You can browse or download the proposal at your leisure. The people behind this proposal hope it will be improved through public discussion. Share what you think, and share comments with others by joining the Facebook group at CharterCityToronto, or follow the group on Twitter. Free tickets are still available for the group's public meeting scheduled for Thursday, November 21. At this meeting interested attendees can hear all about the proposal, speak to some of the proposal's authors, ask questions, make suggestions and tell the group what you think about a City Charter to empower and protect Toronto.
