Toronto mayor softens criticism but city's health board chair calls cuts 'an attack'
EXCERPTS
Child-care and health-care advocates are slamming the provincial government's plan to go ahead with some of its controversial municipal funding cuts next year.
Premier Doug Ford made an announcement on the cuts Monday at a gathering of municipal leaders in Ottawa.
The Progressive Conservative government tried to force retroactive funding cuts this year, but had to cancel them after municipal leaders complained their annual budgets had already passed.
