I really don't think it's much of a conspiracy theory to say that Ford is a highly politically motivated and incompetent leader. This is based on evidence of his entire political career.
I'm sure there are some moderating forces, but even those who I had the most respect for have proven that they're entirely unwilling to stand up to Ford in any meaningful or public way...
Now that doesn't mean that your prediction is right, only that I have little hope that the changes will be based on evidence of what's best, as opposed to political goals, nor do I have much hope that the changes will be positive.
Like I said before, whether you believe that amalgamation has the potential to be good or bad, I think we all know that it could be done badly and have negative consequences for our region...and Ford is not someone I would trust with my lawn care, let alone planning an amalgamation. I'll point out that he has already cancelled critical transportation infrastructure that most of us are only debating on whether it's utterly destructive, or merely extremely limiting to the potential of our region.
