And it continues...

This week at work has been slow, not that that's a bad thing. I've been compiling a list of municipalities (i.e. potential clients), which means going to a lot of provincial government websites and getting the contact info for every municipality in the province. One interesting fact that has come up- Ontario currently has 445 municipalities, including upper tiers. Manitoba, with less than 10% of Ontario's population, has 200, all single tiers. Saskatchewan has even more, many of which are villages with fewer than 100 residents. I tend to be leery of municipal amalgamations, but when you're a village of 25 people, three of who are on the village council (one reeve and two councillors) it seems kind of silly.

Much like school divisions: it just serves to create jobs for a bunch of stupid paper pushers.
