You legitimately believe that $300 annually is the straw that could throw owners out of their homes? This is something you actually accept as reality?

All of those are correct though. If you’ve got the money to speculate in housing - whether for personal use or some sort of profit - you can pay the tax. Toronto’s issue was spamming the ‘easy money’ cheat by relying too heavily on endless DCs, until it all fell apart in 2022.

This is...*staggeringly* bad. Like truly, not even 'everyone-gets-an-award'-level bad, dude...
What if your property taxes didn’t go up next year? After nearly 20% in property tax increases over three years, Torontonians deserve a break. I’ll freeze Toronto property taxes for one year. That's real change and real results. Vote for it on October 26.
