Toronto residential property taxes rising by 4 per cent in 2009

[trent]

Toronto is hiking property taxes by 4% this year. With morons like David Miller running the city, things do not look good. Didn't they learn that higher taxes are bad for business and just about everybody, except the bureaucrats spending the money?

Property values in Toronto are falling with breathtaking speed, but they will hike taxes? Morons!

David Miller is not a moron, you are. Running a huge city like Toronto is expensive, and there's no other way, but increase taxes if we don't want cuts in the services.

Yes, it is expensive with so many bureaucrats doing nothing. I can also guarantee that it will get even more expensive from here, and the level of services we receive will degrade further.

What services? Have you seen the state the Toronto streets are in?

Yes, I have, but all this will be fixed in the beginning of the spring.
