Ultimately, these are political decisions. No-one can truly say when amalgamation is warranted; but on top of that, in recent memory it seems to happen mostly when a PC government wants to be seen by its base as saving money, and they don’t care if it actually does so.
I assume that Ford decided that he didn’t want that particular bit of controversy coming up in the next election. Or maybe he just wants to save it for the election. Either way, it’s not based on an assessment of what is the best way of running our cities.
