24). If what Lightbody states is the case, then it appears that those opposed to the integration have no say so in how the government is run. Since the country is not a democracy, but yet a constitutional monarchy these types of decisions and actions can be expected.
Lightbody argues that restructuring process in Canada is often quick and not without drama. This may seem like an unlikely approach given that there is usually so much opposition to change within the municipalities, but he states that the opposition usually adapts very quickly to these changes because they begin to see them as improvements upon the old system (p. 25). One of the reasons for opposition is that many people naturally resist change because they are comfortable with the status quo. Those individuals who think outside of the box can take a step back and see what is working and what isn't working and are not afraid of change. This is good because without change there can be no growth or forward movement whatsoever. In the case of restructuring Toronto and Montreal, it was a matter of forward thinking and vision.
What Lightbody says he has observed from these restructurings is citizens may oppose it in the beginning but are usually quick to accept it once it transpires. His proof of this statement is a poll which revealed that seventy percent of the citizens of Toronto were satisfied with the restructuring and with a second poll, sixty-six percent of the citizens felt that the restructuring was successful (26). The restructuring probably should have been done long before it was instead of waiting for everything to go haywire and practically being forced to integrate. Canadian government should take a look at previous restructurings of comparable city-regions and take note of what they did in order to have a functionally capable government.

Participatory Budgeting CMA In the late-capitalist era during the late twentieth century restructuring of Canada's municipalities toward a new model of intergovernmental alliances, known as 'city-regional' governance, the importance of Public Choice as praxis to reconfiguration of the nation's market relations was asserted by urban planning and political theorists interested in the impetus and affects of the what became known as the Consolidation Movement. A decade of exposure to James Lightbody's
