It will be interesting to see what happens with the Peel Region de-amalgamation. After 25 years of forced amalgamations elsewhere in the Province, I don't think anyone can point to tangible cost savings (cost savings was one of the main arguments in favour of amalgamation). After 50 years of Regional government, I think that most Regions have done a good job of integrating services for big and generally unsexy infrastructure (eg waste management and sewage treatment). If the Peel Region process blows up, I can't imagine any politician wanting to try it again elsewhere.
