Topic: Ontario general election, 1945


  
  Ontario general election, 1945 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ontario general election of 1945 was held on June 4, 1945, to elect the 90 members of the Legislative Assembly (Members of Provincial Parliament, or "MPPs") of the Province of Ontario, Canada.
The Ontario Progressive Conservative Party, led by George Drew, won a second consecutive term in office, winning a solid majority of seats in the legislature -- 66, up from 38 in the previous election.
The Ontario Liberal Party, led by former premier Mitchell Hepburn, was returned to the role of official opposition with 11 seats, plus 3 Liberal-Labour seats that it won in coalition with the Labour-Progressive Party (which was, in fact, the Communist Party).

 Banning Cosmetic Pesticide Use in the Urban Environment
A consideration of why a ban is necessary and the possibility of enacting a municipal by-law in Ontario banning the use of pesticides for cosmetic purposes in the urban environment.
Undoubtedly, the inclusion of "general welfare" provisions was intended to circumvent, to some extent, the effect of the doctrine of ultra vires which puts the municipalities in the position of having to point to an express grant of authority to justify each corporate act.
provisions in municipal acts for the "good government" or general welfare of the citizens, far from being mere surplusage as my colleagues suggest, found their origin in the desire of legislatures to prevent the decisions of municipal councillors being struck down by the courts.
