8. Municipal Major Issues
 There is allot of misconceptions when it comes to municipal government across Canada. This presentation clarifies the
responsibilities as well as the issues facing municipal governments across Canada.
It should also be noted previous elections provincial governments were less than truthful when it came to how either the
money flows to/from various governments or within various governments.
 Here are the major issues:

raise revenue through different channels
