Last week, the Alberta government introduced Bill 20, a proposal to give itself more powers over municipalities, including the right to remove councillors and overturn bylaws. 

Former Calgary mayor Naheed Nenshi, currently running for the provincial NDP’s leadership, calls the bill an "act of spite." He accuses Premier Danielle Smith’s government of acting "out of revenge on the voters of Calgary and Edmonton who didn't vote the way they wanted them to." Smith, however, has previously said the province's municipal councils need to be more transparent. 

CPAC’s Michael Serapio discusses Bill 20 with Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek.
