McGuinty Lie #201:
I simply committed to ensuring that local people would have the right to decide on the future of their municipality....I have committed that a Liberal government will ensure a binding referendum is held to allow local citizens to determine whether or not to dismantle the amalgamated city.

The referendum was held. The people voted "YES!" to de-amagalamate. McGuinty's Liberals refuse to acknowlege a democratic vote.

Essex council endorses de-amalgamation petition

ESSEX -- In a surprise 4-3 vote Monday, town council endorsed a de-amalgamation petition of almost 5,000 residents seeking to split the municipality into north and south halves.

Coun. Randy Voakes, one of two Essex ward councillors in the north, switched sides and made the motion to endorse the petition. It will now be sent back to the Ontario government, which has already rejected the petition once.

Voakes felt the petition contained too many signatures to be simply ignored. The claims of poor representation made by ratepayers from the Colchester South and Harrow wards should be thoroughly explored, he said Story and comments
