‘They’ve taxed us to death in Toronto’: Doug Ford says new revenue tools not on table in New Deal 2.0 talks

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he has no plans to provide Toronto with new revenue tools through discussions on the next phase of the new deal between the city and the province.

“Revenue tools are called taxes. They want to tax the pants off you. They’ve taxed us to death in Toronto. Enough, enough of these taxes,” Ford told reporters at Queen’s Park on Tuesday.

“As I say, government doesn’t have an income problem. They have a revenue problem. Stop spending money. Start focusing on areas that you can drive efficiencies.”
