LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Rethink Winnipeg Metropolitan Region

The Edmonton and Calgary regional boards have struggled to sustain themselves without provincial assistance. The Alberta government has now ceased their funding and made membership voluntary. The boards have struggled to keep their promises of efficiency and cost savings and rely on government handouts.

The boards were pushing broader global agendas like International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) and U.N. 2030. Globalist agendas undermine local autonomy and prioritize ideological objectives rather than reflecting the needs and values of the communities. There is nothing stopping RMs from working with their neighbors on a one-to-one basis. There is no need for another layer of costly bureaucracy to dictate what our communities have to do.
