Breaking down Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow’s proposed 6.9% tax hike

And where does the money for welfare come from? The sky?
In my experience, the people who complain the loudest about tax hikes are the first ones to go all Karen when service cuts impact them.
The budget sets the property tax increase for owners of multi-residential properties at 2.7 per cent, half the regular residential rate. That’s below a provincial threshold that allows multi-tenant landlords to pass on the cost of property tax hikes to their tenants.
So 7% in 2023, 9.5% in 2024 and now a proposed 6.9% in 2025. That's a total of 23.4% over the past 3 years. Toronto homeowners getting hammered while the city bloats its payroll and burns money on its GHG strategy. In 2024 alone that accounted for $63.6 million in operational spending and another $1.43 billion in capital spending.
When rates increase this much and the average citizen sees no tangible benefit, there are some very dark things going on with the local administration and the people are just letting it happen. There are strength in numbers and the city doesn’t need to take this.
Refer to post #25 for to illuminate yourselves.
We see the people who are traitors. Anabrandy loves to see everyone lose more and more money for the good of nothing. Never met someone who would want to have less money than more. Can you imagine being a citizen and defending higher taxes. Lol screw lose with this one.
Rumor has it that Tory will run again in the next municipal election. I've been a fan of John.
Where is the increased service. All the people in Toronto are saying oh wow stop it with all the great service! We don’t deserve it lol. Right? We are all so satisfied.
Just because another unhinged person in post #25 said it doesn’t meant it’s true.
So sayeth the self-proclaimed "voice of the people of Toronto"???
Just because a deluded prophet of the people of Toronto sayeth so in post #34 doesn't mean it's true.
I hate to burst your bubble, but you speak for no one.
Frank you’re an odd one. Nobody can speak for you.
There are lots of people with similar ideas, just not so much here.
What has the tax increase rates been in previous 10 years? New to Toronto so have no historical numbers.
Under Tory and the crackhead the increases were low but services dropped.
Now we have more homeless, less money in shelters, poorly maintained TTC and the streets are dirtier, in worse repair and covered in construction blockages.
