Yeah, we've got a regional metro-level of regional governance here, but it's very much driven by municipal delegations, as per this recent mayor's council meeting where everyone is griping about the province intruding on their powers. metrovancouver.org/media-room/v...

After a bit of time researching old cattle bylaws I've come to think of it as something like zombie pastoralism persisting long after all the farm animals have been banned.

Great list! And really enjoying the thread.

A couple I haven't seen recommended yet:

CSE Cooney (Saint Death's Daughter - so good!)
CL Polk (Witchmark series & The Midnight Bargain both hit that sweet spot in Fantasy/Romance, like T. Kingfisher)

You're in the queue now. We will have that all cleared out by Wednesday, sir. No problem.
