- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 ม.ค. 2024
- Brian Lilley, Sun political columnist and Toronto city councillor - Brad Bradford of the Beaches-East York ward, talk about the potential monumental increase to property tax in the upcoming Toronto budget - 16.5 percent increase. Toronto Olivia Chow claims it is a staff budget and not her budget.
She said she would before she was voted in. You get what you vote for.
I didnt vote for here
so do I get what In voted for?
you should watch your callous n cliched remarks
Agree.
Absolutely, and nobody speaking in this video voted for her, so they need to speak to the majority who understood this was going to happen.
Then I should get a refund bc I sure didn't vote for that entitled socialist.
Then you will need to vote with your feet and get out of there.@@HappyWolverine
Mortgage rate hikes, carbon taxes, and now a 16.5% proprty tax hike? What idiots voted for Chow?
Same ones who voted for Trudeau
The proudly Torontonians!😂😂😂
Anyone who has their hand out, which unfortunately is most of Toronto which sees most of Trudeau's newcomers.
I diots who votes for foreigners are just that,idiots....feeling good becoz diversity isnt it
Not me! Chinese people voted.
Chow openly stated in her campaign that she'll raise taxes when she's mayor though, how can majority of y'all be surprised that the taxes are increasing?
Those of us who live outside of the refugee sh*thole of Toronto were screaming this before the mayoral election- no one wanted to listen but here we are- a bunch of TO residents acting surprised that they’re faced with the biggest tax hike in Toronto’s history. You
Literally can’t fix stupid with some of these people.
Only cons are crying about her, cons who dont live here lol. We love Olivia Chow. Shes here to fix the mess of John Tory the CON who has destroyed this city like cons always do.
How could anyone think people voted for her
are you dmb?@@nelsondasilva3918
It is literally becoming unbearable to live in Canada and less attractive day by day, we are now facing another property tax in Ontario as much as 16% is not only absurd it sends a clear message to Canadians to look for greener pastures...
Congrats Toronto for voting in such an extreme left wing mayor.
Voting machines did this wake up CANADA
Toronto also gave us Dustbin Trudolph. Real responsible voters living in that city.

I AM NOT IN FULL AGREEMENT WITH THIS VIDEO. It is really sounding "political" rather than the reality. Very clearly, Brian Lilley and Brad Bradford simply do not like Chow. There is a civic financial bill that exists and needs to be paid. Exactly WHAT has Chow got to do with this "bill"? Does she "control" this "bill"?
Forget about politics. If there is a civic financial problem, it doesn't matter WHO is sitting in the chair .....THE BILL HAS TO BE PAID!!!
The only "conversations" that might apply is COST REDUCTION .....which affect one of, or all of, EVERY CIVIC PUBLIC SECTOR UNION ....educations, healthcares, securities, maintenances, ....which no matter which or what "services" ....THEY ARE ALL UNIONIZED .....and we constantly hear about the many "collective agreements" ending and new "bargaining" taking place ....which NEVER get announced as going down ....ALWAYS GOING UP. The people who pay for this are the TAXPAYERS. How exactly do TAXPAYERS think that they have nothing to do with all these PUBLIC SECTOR UNIONS DEMANDS AND INCREASES??? EVERY TAXPAYERS IS PAYING FOR THESE INCREASES ....REGARDLESS OF WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE ECONOMY.
There is a brief talk about "services" declining. WHO PROVIDES THESE "SERVICES"? PUBLIC SECTOR UNIONS PROVIDE THESE SERVICES.
When times are tough, PUBLIC SECTOR UNIONS DEMAND MORE ......BECAUSE TIMES ARE TOUGH!!! Quebec UNIONS will get 6% increase the first year and over reach their 17.4% over five years. Quebecers will be paying for this. There are very likely other demands such as working hours, breaks, time off, vacations, bonuses, ....an almost never-ending list of demands that will never be released to the public to let them know how much this is going to cost them.
The sad part is that the "public" has no choice in what happens ....regardless of what political party is in power. Case in point, in B.C., right now, the transit system, Coast Mountain Bus UNION is demanding 25% wage increase over THREE YEARS!!! If they don't get this demand approved .....they simply go on strike. "THE POWER OF THE UNION" ....and they have the "right" to do so because this is Canada. The wonderful country that has so many "freedoms". (SARCASM)
So those in Toronto ....open up your wallets BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE .......ALL THE PUBLIC SECTOR UNION'S DEMANDS WHEN BARGAINING WERE MET ....SO NOW YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THEM. And at the end of this "collective agreement" ...it will be back to "negotiations" again for the next "bargaining" sessions ......REGARDLESS OF WHICH POLITICAL PARTY IS IN THE HOT SEAT.
And of course, let's not ignore the massive influx of immigration. Where do these people go to live? Is it required that they have enough money to actually LIVE in Canada BEFORE they leave their own country? So if/when they arrive in Toronto, and there is no housing, WHO IS GOING TO "START" BUILDING HOMES AND WHO IS PAYING FOR THESE HOMES? Well, there isn't any "private" citizens that are paying for these new homes, so let's just mutually accept the fact that TAXPAYERS are going to have these homes built for other people. Once upon a time, people saved up money for down-payments and went to banks for their mortgages ...and for the next 25 years ....PAID BACK THE BANK. It sounds like these immigrants won't have to do that and the TAXPAYERS will be paying for these new homes.
This video is nothing more than opinionated rhetoric. TALKING about all the misgivings and venting contrasting opinions is a complete waste of everyone's time. IF you want to make a point, then get the facts FIRST!!! Not once was any actual cost stated at any time. What's the annual budget? What IS the "maintenance budget"? What WAS the "traffic-calming" cost? You whine and complain ....and offer not one iota of actual factual information.
.
Yeah like Toronto needed to spend money on renaming streets . Common sense right out the window
yeah it doesn't make sense. They've continously come out and said the city of Toronto is broke... but magically finds 12 million to rename a small stretch of Dundas... literally makes no sense.
How about bicycle lanes, very useful in the snow
12 million?
She's good at spending money not saving it! SpenDP govt.
As a life long Torontonian, this is the nightmare envisioned when Chow was elected Mayor. As a senior on a fixed pension, the pension never increases and everyone wants a bigger piece of my meager pie. These increases in taxes are designed to allow City Hall to operate in their wasteful "business as usual" mode. No visible spending cuts, no analysis of core services. The Mayor that campaigned on an "affordable city" and she has just slapped every homeowner, condo owner and Toronto renter in the face. Many millions of dollars being wasted on unproven traffic calming and bicycle lanes that are choking transportation throughout the city. How about a moratorium on bike lanes for 3 years until the debt is under control? People aren't realizing that a single speed bump costs the City over $30 thousand dollars to install. The total taxes of six average Toronto homes to construct a single bump. Suspend any action to rename Dundas Street and the 8 Million dollar expenditure, until the Toronto debt is cleared. How about a 50% reduction in spring flower planting in parks and streetscapes for just 3 years. If the other levels of government are failing to support the fallout of immigration, then stop doing the federal government's job. Torontonians and all Canadians are facing huge financial pressures and those pressures are pushing and pulling from every direction. We know how to "cut back" and we've been doing it, over and over and over for year, after year, after year and for many THERE IS NOTHING LEFT TO CUT BACK. The City and all levels of government continue to perform like a "Dead-Beat Dad"; Constantly crying that they can't afford to pay their alimony payments or child support, while they buy a brand new car or fly to holiday destinations. What Toronto can't afford is Olivia Chow.
This is how globalism works. Eventually, we will all be huddled up like hamsters in houses. I guess everyone thought globalism meant a house and two car garage for everyone.
She did campaign on an " affordable city"........................The problem is, she never stipulated affordable to WHO.
Many Torontoian's assumed she meant them, but what she really meant was the poor and homeless who have NOTHING to loose already.
She will now give them everything for free at the cost of you "rich" home owners.
Your right, anyone with common sense and logical thinking saw this witch coming and shouldn't be surprised..................but, everyone voted for her - ENJOY.
@chrisgraham2904 You've already shown you have more brains than Chow Mein. You should be Mayor!
Smart city, globalist agenda are 2 sides of the same coin...Chow is their puppet...
That’s not how politicians work lol. They have their budget and it can only grow just like their ego. You forgot the unions who for the most part demand double digit raises while the cities populations have to work at 30% less of a wage? That is the first place to start is the unions. Reduce their wages by 20% over 3 years if they dont like it then leave. They wont leave the golden pensions and 3 hour work days lol. Time to stand up to these people NOW!
Lmaoooo. Literally everybody was calling it and Toronto still voted her in. Toronto is going to sleep in the bed they made and I’m loving it
You vote Liberal in the Fed Election, you’d think YYZ would learn not to vote in a NDP Mayor. You voted for her!
So glad I moved from Toronto and just in time 🤣
@@eatmeskivys Options in the country are getting slim, only appears to be 2 provincial leaders that are willing to give the feds the middle finger
They are screwed.
I really hope they all end-up on the streets.
And I’m sure they still won’t learn anything. They’ll just keep blaming whitey (themselves).
They're not the brightest color in the crayon box are they.
She's a socialist. She believes in equality. The median income across Canada is $40,500. She should cut her own $216,000 salary down to that and every NDP politician should do the same.
She believes in equity, not equality. This is equal outcome, not equal opportunity.
Why should she?? If the voters are dumb enough to vote in a socialist/communist then be happy with the result, especially when she said she was going to do it. What do voters think is going to happen????
Equally impoverish.
Socialism is the USSR Soviet Union. Check points, guard towers, cameras everywhere. Your home feels like a prison and then there's the Gulag, two enter but only one leaves.
The Berlin Wall, East Germany after WW2. Socialism is oppression. Who do you think we fought after WW2? Seriously, do you think the Cold War was fought in the winter?
Now we as torontonians are paying big price for voting for Mayor Chao. It’s nightmare!! She is holding us hostage. She must resign.
She inherited this mess from John Tory which everyone gave him a pass over the years . Chow is too stupid to raise tax this much . She is cleaning up the mess for the next mayor .

Why should taxpayers pay for immigration
These are the same taxpayers that voted Liberal three times and Trudeaus policy is open borders so yes they get what they voted for.
We are the world.
Taxpayers pay for EVERYTHING!!! Including the governments' salaries benefits and pensions. Are you new?!!😮
@Flat10squirre third world 😊l
Because they voted Liberal and NDP suck it
Canadian taxpayers did not elect Chow, why should taxpayers bail out Toronto? No.
Ok then can we send a few bus loads of immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers to where you live.
Not everyone voted for her. And definitely not everyone voted for bringing terrorist “refugees “ to Toronto. Let’s not generalize.
Well inflation is really at 16% or higher so that is the real rate not that 3% bs they are spouting right now. The action of this mayor speaks louder than words.
😢
Its not my problem, I'm not giving them anything
You get what you vote for. Congratulations Toronto.
We love Olivia. We voted her in to fix the mess JOHN TORY THE CON LEFT US IN
The big problem accross Canada is that municipalities across the country have gotten away from their basic responsibilities and are trying to give in to all request from special interest groups, and their solution is to raise taxes to pay for it.
this is the same Mayor who was living in subsidized housing and only decided to move out when this was exposed. LOL
I well remember that scandal. Subsidized housing while they rented out their house.
The good news is hopefully some Toronto folks are pissed off enough to vote Conservative in the next federal election!
They will never get it right.
@@rickyrickardo8347you are absolutely correct. They are not capable of learning.
Frankly?! I doubt it. Stupidity is a life long affliction. 😂
Don't count on it. I thought they'd learn when the little prick won round 2 but hey they don't learn so while you loose your homes the rest of us will be laughing at your expense.😊
I'm out west, and I met a young guy with a family. He left Toronto and bought a big new house that he couldn't have ever afforded there. Now, his parents are moving out west. Most of my new neighbors are from Ontario. So they get it, don't worry.Our political landscape tried and failed with new ideas. Dividing people is what politicians want, not Canadians. Don't get pulled into that slimy narrative.
Don’t feel so bad!2 years ago my municipal tax bill went up 43%.The next year another 17 %.this year another 22%.I now pay over $1000.00 per year for garbage collection and water.water being the lions share of that bill.But in the summer,every year,our water is rationed to the point where we are breaking the law if we use water outdoors for growing food.No outdoor water use is allowed.this is the Sunshine Coast of BC where we are surrounded by rain forest and dozens of lakes.The SCRD steals our money for the operation of the water system and then shuts off the water.of course they blame it on past administrations from 40 years ago.
A few issues:
1) Trudeau and his unfettered population growth via crap immigration policies
2) said immigration policies NOT stipulating where in the country certain skills are needed - IOW: “Welcome to Canada! Go wherever you want.”
3) voting in NDP to run the city
4) said NDP needing the money to house the influx of people they are also not turning away.
When will voters learn this is what you get when you vote NDP or Liberal (one and the same)
(one and the same)"
Nonsence.
ndp provincially have4 balanced more budgets than the cons or libs.
I like them both.
the voters are a bunch of mor@ns.
never.
Of course but some voters are do dumb, they don't understand the basics of macro and micro economics.
This is great news! Toronto deserves this. They voted for this.
Im so happy for them too !!!
Yes, I did. And I don't regret it. We've got bills to pay. And I for one don't think it's a bad thing that we're raising our property taxes. They'll then be more in line with nearby cities whose residents pay more tax to their cities than we do to Toronto right now.
@@user72974 they should raise them a lil more than 16 percent...how about 24 percent? Should be good enough.
@@shawnd22333350% that would be better
@user72974 Wow, you are the only person I know who loves their taxes, raise.
And it also sounds like you got more money than common sense!
If every home owner just stops paying their property tax she’ll get the message.
us libs arent de*dbeats like you cons and we can afford the increase
As a Canadian taxpayer, I am deeply unsatisfied with her latest decision. How she can accept a $7,600 pay increase while I have to endure 16 hours just to afford rent and groceries is beyond me. When I get a raise, it's $0.10 or $0.25 at the most. She's shown she has no interest helping taxpayers and only cares about herself. Come election time, I'll be voting for someone who shows more compassion to taxpayers and is devoted to alleviating their struggles.
No Brian they voted for a far left socialist mayor. With a history of supporting big tax hikes and big spending.
And they got what they voted for. Not sure why everyone is so surprised and shocked. Pony up Toronto, you voted for it.
@@kevinbeausoleil8104 They voted for her because she said she cared, and that they knew her name also that she looked like many of the minority population. They NEVER looked at her political history or policies.
Olivia Chow has never ever met a tax dollar she hasn't spent.. Why change now?
Chow barely got over a 1/3 of the vote. There was like 100+ candidates in the election. It's absurd. John Tory should never have stepped down.
@@BC-li6zc although that may be true it doesn’t really matter why they voted for her, bottom line is they did, so they should stop crying about what she’s doing. She’s perfecting within her right.
Wow. 16% that is criminal. Toronto is going to become the world's biggest refugee center after the renter's are priced out and home values free fall.
they'll gladly import the extras from NY. free votes
Homelessness, drugs, poverty, people fleeing the city. It’s all coming.
And what will be the increase next year? These taxes are all compounded.
Toronto is going to be a third world city .
Go get yourself a Camel.
More homelessness on the way, longer lines at the food banks. Never ending greed and inflation. Quality of life in Canada is on a downward spiral.
I lived in the GTA for 12 years. So happy to be living in western Canada again. So much better.
Vote for the left, get the left. Congratulations T.O.

No! This is the irony of it all! She got where she is with the record low turnout for voting!
Torontonians were too busy, too lazy, too indifferent, too stupid, too in love with bike lanes or all of the above to go and vote. I voted for Anthony Furey and he lost. I sold my house and moved to Alberta where I bought two separate nice places for my daughter and myself. Love it here. ❤

This is what happens when only about 17% of the population
get out to vote in a by-election.....You get far left Olivia Chow as your mayor.
Poor people vote for those who give them stuff
Tax and spend baby!!!!!!! Refugee beds almost $300 million, gee, we could have told everyone but will they listen, no!
Voting has consequences. Justin Trudeau is a prime example as people flood into Canada at his request. Olivia Chow is stuck with a mess to fix in Toronto from before.
I do not even think that the last Federal election was legit. My grandson in Stittsville was only 17 and was getting contacted by a Liberal candidate and my 87 year old mother in Windsor was getting constant phone calls with eventually a Liberal volunteer showing up at her door to drive her to vote. My brother lives with her 24-7 and told them to get lost. That person also tried to blame that my mother kept calling their office ( the opposite of what actually happened).
Once taxes go up, they never go down! You are screwed!
Actually they do, and have, in Mississauga. Better managed city, overall.
Ask Freeland to foot the bill and she will arrest you like David Menzies.😂
and call you an anti-Semite to boot 😅
Justice for David !
David was amazing, even while the lies just kept coming. He’s a brave guy.
Free room and board rotting in a jail cell though 😂😂😂
@@rhetorical1488 while kissing a picture of her SS Grandpa
How the hell do administrations think people can even live when they present these kind of increases???! This is ridiculous
Its peanuts lol us rich libs can afford it
I live on the left coast. My property taxes went up 17% and 24% in 2022 and 2023. That's 41%. Our transit is a joke. Healthcare is a unicorn. Over 35% of permanent residents don't have a family doctor (that's not counting transient/short term people going to school or filling a contract), and a junkie burned my office last year.
I'm just so, done. And no, I didn't vote for any of the municipal council members currently in office.
You Canadian?
Yep, said it once and I will say it again. To all the citizens of Toronto, you voted for this- Enjoy.
And this is just the beginning.
I'm a citizen of Toronto
I never voted for this
so by your math 100% of Torontonians voted for this treachery???
All citizens of Toronto did NOT vote for this trash!
Well, yes, they did, and nobody who voted for her and understood what it meant is represented in this video. When these same folks speak about Poilievre, they defend the concepts of cutting services and paying off the debt. Lilley is all politics.
@rettbutler1312 read your comment again and you will see their message is consistent. We need to cut the service and reduce the spending at all government levels. What Lilly is saying is against reckless spending of people's money.
Ha ha ha.....Toronto getting what they deserve for voting in this train wreck.
not funny...all canadians will pay for her stupidity !!!
These governments need to cut their workforces 30 %. It's completely out of control, stress leave etc.
No idea who would EVER vote for Chow. Still believe her association with CCP has a ton to do with it.
Who voted for her? CUPE MEMBERS SCHOOL TEACHERS. They have indexed salaries and pensions and tax increases cost them nothing.
This...
vote buying 101
Exactly! The rest were too lazy, too self involved, too indifferent, too in love with bike lanes, too stupid or all of the above, to get up from their as... to go and vote.
ENJOY NOW!!!!😡😡😡😡
100% the TDSB has 10,000 staff making 250% more than the median wage. $100,000+ and retirement with inflation protected pensions at 55 are dreams to 90% of the taxpayer.
CUPE workers went on strike over wages that haven't increased in 10 years. The demand was to keep up with inflation, and even that was not given to them. Whether it be truckers protesting for their rights to bodily autonomy or education workers protesting for fair wages, now is not the time to be dividing ourselves; that's exactly what the government wants. Nobody wants these property tax hikes, CUPE or not.
WTF is happening to Canada. Have the people lost their mind? In times for record inflation, recession and overall downturn, we are getting a record tax hike? Like what????
We are hostage of the government… waiting for my citizenship to just got out from this hell
Voting machines in municipal elections look it up
What happened is eastern Canada keeps electing a drama teacher to run the country, if that’s not bad enough anybody that elects the NDP gets what they deserve.
Well Someone on city council suddenly realized the city of toronto is bankrupt.
The fact that thousands of Canadians are not protesting at chow's home shows that unfair taxation is accepted as a fact of life there and that canadians have no fight left in them.
Why does this surprise people…if you are in love with socialism, this is what you get. Good Luck Toronto…you are going to need it.
That why people who lived in socialism before decided to move from Canada.
Stop using the taxes for stipid things like street and park names. Its ridiculous
Hostages? Hold your taxes - they can't arrest us all.
Ironically, I live in Hamilton, Ont. Another NDP mayor, and guess what. She says our taxes will be going up to % 14.5. I truly hope the rest of the country sees this trend
BAHAHAH ALL BECAUSE OF DOUG FORD. READ MORE
Liberals and NDP keep
Up the good work Ontario!!!
Chow: Elect me and I will raise taxes.
Voters: Elect Chow
Chow: Increases taxes.
Voters: Surprised Pikachu Face
Exactly.........................it's amazing how short the minds of these Liberal/NDP lambs really are.
😂😢,I was told to relocate from BC to GTA ,no thank you.
Only ones crying about her are you cons who cant afford Toronto and dont even live here lol @@camerond8176
Most of the people who voted for her probably don't own property. This is Communist redistribution. the icing on top is Toronto always puts the liberals in which caused the migrant crisis. If you want to vote for empty virtue signalling, don't be surprised when the bill shows up.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂TRUE ... VOTES MATTER GUYS
Disastrous governance !
I would vote her out if she does the Dundas thing and vote for anyone putting Dundas back.
And stop the refugee train, refugees are a humanitarian luxury we can not afford in this economy.
wtf
no ones going to vote out china we still have their treadolf they helped keep in
But the wealthy elite want to show how generous they can be with your money.
Say it again for the people in the back.
I would say pause immigration forsure, and be very calculated with how many refugees we allow in. Not quite saying stop all refugees but make sure we can support them and not sewer ourselves
There are 3 levels of government but only 1 tax payer. There is a limit to how much tax paying workers can bare. If Chow does get federal money you will still pay the tax at that level of government.
You still havent figured it out... They dont care.
Truer words have never been spoken. You can't get blood from a stone.
I agree with you for the most part. But Toronto should not have to cover the full or the majority costs of new immigrants. Those costs should be spread across the country. Toronto has no say in how many immigrants come into Canada but is burdened with the costs of housing them which results in skyrocketing rents and greatly affects our health care services. Immigration is a federal concern and the feds need to pay up. Otherwise, they need to rename our immigration system from come to Canada to come Toronto. As that is the reality of what is happening.
@@bushnut8305You are right but all that’s left of that stone is sand and gravel by the time the politicians put it through the crusher. (Sorry, I don’t live in Ontario but I couldn’t pass up commenting.)
The difference is, if she gets a federal bailout, the cost is spread across all Canadian tax payers, rather than just Toronto tax payers.
You guys voted for this! You get what you deserve!!
Is Chow hoping to relieve Torontonian home owners of their homes, that is what she is doing here, insanity. This is beyond insanity.
Voting in a NDP mayor means your hard earned money is going to all the social programs, for people that just don't want to join society. Tax payers can hardly afford to eat, get a roof over their head or afford to heat them place never mind coming up with a few bucks to to gas into a vehicle so they can get to work. And now Chow wants these same tax payers to support all her social program. Time to demand a change in mayor and possibly some councilors. Everyone that is not a NDP supporter knew this was going to happen. It's happening in Edmonton right now.
And voting Tory means your hard earned dollars support his dalliances a d private funds of his boys club.
Edmonton is 100% a communist dumpster fire of a city. Is a shit stain on Alberta
Toronto asked for it. What did they think happens when you elect NDP? Now with immigration out of control they've got a reason to really stick it to residents. ĹOL NDP "very good at budgets". ROFL
@@CowGryYes you are right math is hard for th NDP and leftists in general. This cultural Marxism their DEI plan is in full swing. People have bought this and now we all are paying for this. And yes Sohi that Hamas loving 💩is the same. Oh we work so hard to keeps taxes a 8% lol. Time to deal with these politicians once and for all!
once again you get punished for working in Canada
You have to love Toronto voters. They love paying taxes.
And then bitching about it
What kind of fool would think that renters aren't affected by property tax increases. Some people are just ridiculous.
We have a similar situation in Calgary! NDP 'strategies' are a disaster! And, the feds shouldn't be 'ponying up' for a municipality!
I think Toronto is going to end up with an even bigger homelessness crisis by the end of 2025.
Our taxes keep going up and my wage absolutely doesn't. I think thats true of most people. Let alone my city keeps cutting services and keeps giving themselves raises yearly.
I remember a guy once said you will own nothing and be happy...

Toronto launch more than one petition asking for resignation of the Mayor and others. Launch a referendum asking for resignation.
The answer to every problem in Canada these days is always the same. More taxes.
Strange that nothing ever seems to be solved...
Thst is actually not the answer. However that is what ndp.and libs do
People need to know property taxes are based on 2016 house value in ontario. It has not been updated. House values are to be updated in 2024. So her tax hike will be applied to updated house values.
Well somebody's gotta pay the high salaries, huge benefits and gold plated pensions given to City employees, Police, Firemen and all the rest who gorge at the public trough.

That’s what an NDP government does.
If your property taxes are based on home value, like in calgary, then its higher than that! Politicians don't care anymore about how much money you have after bills they only want to spend and look good.
Raise it 65% no one will say anything
Can’t see or hear as Toronto citizens
After living in Toronto for 35 years, September 2021, I made a huge decision to sell and buy another home outside of Toronto with no mortgage paid in full with the sale of my Toronto home. I achieved my goal and am very happy with my decision. I feel sorry for Toronto friends and families. This is a destructive decision that will have severe effects on many people's lives. I wish you hope and happiness always.
Kudos and Good on Ya, Been out here 27yrs. You won't wanna go back.
ru retired?
Out of the country would have been smarter. Thats my goal.
How far away did you go? Is there any escape from this madness?
That’s where I am headed soon too
Can’t wait to see the percentage she is going to add to the utility bill.
That has been going by leap and bound under Tory.

And it will only get worse under Chow
Free Northern Ontario !!!
12 million to change the name of Dundas Street, she is crazy
No worries Canadians have lots of money left over for more taxes, these politicians are disgusting we would be better off with none of them.
Schadenfreude for all the Toronto Trudeau voters. You get what you vote for. Enjoy!
Toronto doesn’t vote mostly, these are boys clubs politics.
I hope there's protests at city hall and a property tax strike. If homeowners withhold their tax payments on mass, maybe Chow will get the message.
Another civil , intelligent conversation about the decline of the west.
In April.. Carbon tax goes up again.
So does tax on alcohol.
16% tax hike needs a 32% raise due to 50% income tax rates.
You need to make 500k to have an average tax of 50%. Most Canadians pay about average of 25% taxes on their income, and then 13% HST, and then 30% on Transportation through carbon tax....you point is valid. Canada is starting to fail. Politicians keep making the easy decision of raising taxes, instead of balancing their own books, and cutting out their unproductivity....if they won't do it, Canadians need to start standing up and change their vote or we will usher end socialism, then communism, and then Canada will have fallen, just like many prosperous nations before it.
Tax freedom day is 19 June in Canada@@joelzinho4600
Gross... Raising Taxes is the only idea politicians understand.
Get the hell out of there and let them take care of themselves. I got the hell out of Quebec in 2006 and went to Alberta and will never look back. It wasn't easy with three children and had to live in campgrounds till we finally found accommodation ,not great but got by and now all of us are doing fine. Get out of big cities
12 million for a street name change. I would vote the council and mayor out. This increase is crazy 10.5% to 16.5% tax potential. The council and mayor are looking to increase the budget by 800 million dollars. This is unacceptable!!
As an ontario resident I don't want a cent of my tax dollars going to chow's toronto
Who presents a budget that REQURES a federal bailout? What a joke.
No where in the Western hemisphere does anyone say, Wow! Look how much better it is since we voted left.
Same issue happening in Calgary. Ours bought a two million dollar art statue the same week she announced property tax hike. These mayors are so out of touch!
Ours are renaming a street that no one knew needed renaming
@@spittinvenom9843 and 75% disagree it should be re-named. Chow is woke and tone deaf.
you voted con, now feel the misery lol We love Olivia. We voted her in to fix the mess JOHN TORY THE CON LEFT US IN
You dont get a say NON TORONTO RESIDENT@@johnnyguitar1422
@@bonbonvegabon an absolute disgrace, who crawled out from the rock she was hiding out from because John Tory screwed up his personal life
We got hit with 14% in Hamilton... Governments are out of control but what do you expect with NDP Andrea Horwath as our Mayor!
