Of course not. In a sense we're kind of making the same point. Toronto is in a serious budget shortfall and property taxes have been recently raised. Introducing tolls would be the "easiest sell" for a politician. It's why I think this will not fade away. We've been slowly fed this idea...
Not exempt, but certainly a reduced rate would be a far easier sell for us. Isn't 407 a provincial responsibility and this toll business municipal?
I'm all for going up in arms to try to push this thing back but... framing this as a choice between property rates in toronto going up where...
