In essence, it is accusing politicians in Saanich and Victoria of ragging the puck, making only glacial progress on the process that could lead to a municipal merger. The group has long suspected that councillors don’t embrace the amalgamation idea with the same enthusiasm with which, say, Trudeau embraces selfies. This week, Amalgamation Yes issued a press release that dripped with frustration — as usual — over what it sees as foot-dragging. To be specific, it is upset that more than two years after voters in Saanich and Victoria approved funding for a citizens assembly that would look at the costs, benefits and disadvantages of marrying the two communities, we haven’t even completed the preliminary steps that would allow the body to be created.
