Chrystia Freeland shoots down Olivia Chow’s demand for more money, saying Toronto should not be crying poor
Freeland referred to billions of dollars in federal aid that Ottawa has given the city since the Liberal government came to power in 2015, as well as billions given to the province, saying it’s now up to those two levels of government to meet the city’s needs.
As a former resident of downtown Toronto... Property taxes are a joke. They should crank up property taxes on any property that isn't a primary residence to close the gap. Fuck the short-term-rental hoarders. I've always told my city councillor that I wanted to live in a nice, clean city where everyone gets their needs met, and pools and parks are open and staffed appropriately -- and that higher property taxes were an acceptable way to make that happen.
11That’s the plan! We can expect to see an increase in property taxes now that Olivia Chow is elected.

If only the province and city could actually agree on something
8If only the province wasn't run by a buffoon with a vendetta against the city
8At this point I'm not even sure which brand of conservative is more detrimental, the ones talking to the sky man that tells them to hate the gays or the ones that can be bought and sold for pennies on the dollar and mess with government out of spite.
