Municipalities
air
their
grievances

-
You
shove
programs
at
us
You
tell
us
to
help
run
them
But
you
dont
give
us
any
say
in
the
planning
and
you
dont
give
us
the
money
to
do
the
job
properly
That
roughly
lias
been
the
argument
Canadas
municipalities
have
had
with
the
federal
and
provincial
governments
for
years
The
three
levels
of
govern
government
�
ment
are
meeting
in
Toronto
today
and
tomorrow
their
first
mutual
forum
ever
to
see
if
they
can
do
something
about
the
problem
They
hope
to
end
it
all
by
It
creating
a
machine
which
will
allow
them
to
talk
about
mounting
urban
problems
on
a
continuing
basis
And
they
should
have
a
lot
to
chew
over
between
now
and
Tuesday
night
because
the
municipalities
at
least
have
come
armed
with
a
heavy
analysis
and
a
healthy
list
of
suggestions
The
municipalities
have
crystallized
five
areas
in
which
they
say
more
co
coordination

ordination
is
needed
if
an
increasingly
urbanized
Canada
is
to
develop
smoothly
They
maintain
944
per

all
Canadians
will
live
in
centres
of
1000
or
more
people

agencies
Between

provin

While
the
municipalities
have
many
leisure

they
are
rarely

Public
assistance
Canada
has
spent
20
billion
in
this
area
in
the
last
decade
Although
the
municipalities
have
little
say
in
planning
programs
in
this
area
they
must
cope
with
the
consider
considerable
�
able
problems
which
result
from
our
present
public
assistance
system
The
cost
of
coping
with
these
problems
although
mostly
hidden
is
considerable
