Anthony Furey: Olivia Chow’s tax hike would be unnecessary and destructive

Olivia Chow had a choice. Toronto’s Mayor could have rolled up her sleeves and got to work going through the City’s budget to find savings and hold the line on excessive cost increases. Instead, she chose to grow the budget by a billion dollars and then push for one of the largest tax increases in recent city history right when regular folks are facing an affordability crisis. It’s a heartless thing to do given the state of the economy.

On Wednesday, Chow proposed a 10.5 per cent property tax increase for the coming year. This will climb to 16.5 per cent if the federal government declines to provide Chow with the refugee housing funds she’s requested.


Toronto is a stupid place. You would think after 8 years of electing Trudeau they would have learned a lesson. But no they doubled down on stupid and elected a communist who is feeding truckloads of taxpayer dollars to her vile communist pals.

I live in this imploding shithole and frankly it fully merits the contempt shown it by TROC.
