Torontonians could face a property tax hike as high as 16.5 per cent if the federal government doesn’t come through with the city’s demand for funding to house refugees claimants, budget chief Shelley Carroll warned Wednesday morning at a press conference.
“That is the potential crisis we face…we don’t have the funds,” said Carroll, speaking before the 2024 budget proposed by city staff was presented to council’s budget committee.
Carroll added that it was now on the federal government to respond and Toronto residents would need to speak up in the next few weeks.
Fuck them all.
