well here we go,the ttc wants to be declared an essential service!I think now they will get their wish.Means higher pay more control.
the city should show leadership and cancel “DUKEs” ridiculous cleanup bill.They have suffered enough and have contributed greatly not only to the bike community but to the city as well.
Re: Dukes
Forget the demolition bill. That is peanuts compared to the increase in taxes. I think that the $75,000 per year increase should be a wake up call for just how unfair non residential taxes are in this city.
I am sure most Spacing readers are familiar with Dukes. Do you really think that properties like that should pay or can afford such high taxes?
Everyone hoping to see the area rebuilt as before should note that Toronto’s tax climate has produced an environment that makes nonresidential building financially perilous.
Anyone want to buy a condo on Queen West?
