Advocates are calling on all levels of government to do more to address what they call a 'human rights disaster' as asylum seekers are stranded on the streets of Toronto and the municipal and federal governments argue over who should foot the bill to provide them with shelter.
With what funding? Taxes have been dropping around the country and governments are perpetually underfunded.
We should be lobbying for higher property tax rates so that municipalities actually have the flexibility to “act first, fund later”.
Higher property taxes for multi-home or corporate owners, higher corporate taxes, break up the oligopolies, etc.
I feel like a broken telephone. But if we say it enough maybe it will actually happen.
Higher taxes in general and specifically for non owner-occupied rental properties. It’ll drive down real estate demand and incentize actually filling rentals with tenants.
The phrase is “broken record” lol
Never heard of a telephone that repeats itself when it’s broken.
You are most definitely correct 🙃
