My guess is that he is in on it.

In which case he is not interested in using the powers and responsibilities he was given

Why would he fight it? Much easier for him if the province takes all his responsibility away.

Plus, other than make noise, what can council do to fight this? Municipalities exist at the will of the province.

nothing other than make noise and demonstrate why it prevents progress.

the bottom line here is that this legislation could bring our current concerns on sidewalk & bike lane clearance into perspective, very fast. This is what more specific but similar idea legislation did in Ontario

Anti-urban policies and power grabs haven't hurt Ford.

Not to be a downer here, but HRM Council seems perfectly fine with HRM staff making a point of ignoring their priorities WRT AT, Transit, etc.

So, in practice, no biggie.
