The Agenda had a panel on whether or not the City of Toronto should switch to a "strong mayor" system. Glen Murray mentioned that in it's current state city council was to fractured to build a subway system. Shades of the Shephard Line all over again.
Regardless, it seems like Toronto has really fallen behind the curve on relatively un-glamorous tasks like organizing an efficient administration or clear divisions of power. If the result is projects like Transit City where all 40 Councilors have to be in essence bribed just to get approval, we should seriously look into changing things.
