Taxation and the middle class

[bravado]

New spending would go toward hiring more firefighters, improving sidewalk snow clearing, responding to climate change, promoting affordable housing and tackling a growing backlog of repairs to buildings, pipes and roads, among other projects. The budget proposal would add 62 full-time jobs over three years, a staffing increase of eight per cent.

I'd rather improve the taxes now than watch the maintenance backlog grow even more while hoping that the Province will someday kick in more money to support the Cities.  It's only been 30 years since Mike Harris downloaded a whole bunch of fiscal responsibilities on the Cities for all the things that we are paying for now (eg social housing and social services).

I see what you're saying but I'd prefer it if we could just not do this until after I've retired or died, thanks

dear future generations: eat shit
