What's the legal basis for a mandatory evacuation?
The Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. E.9 gives the Lieutenant Governor in Council the power to make mandatory evacuation orders. I'm not sure if this power is being invoked here (i.e., the fire in north Toronto).

For a start, see s. 7.0.2 (4).
