    Panel suggests 10 cent per liter gas hike to fund transit.

    Compared to other transit systems in north america? I would understand if it was one of the more heavily subsidized systems but I have found nothing to suggest that.

    Panel suggests 10 cent per liter gas hike to fund transit.

    I would certainly hope they get something! But I wouldnt use France as an example of a model country, unless you want to pay almost 50% tax. The government is planning an extra €3 billion ($4 billion) of taxes next year, which will push up the overall tax take in the economy to 46.5% and make...

    Panel suggests 10 cent per liter gas hike to fund transit.

    Considering income tax and sales tax are 30% or more higher that would only make sense? Is it really cheaper?? Looks about twice the price? In London, Prince Charles’ one-stop trip would have cost him £4.50, or $7...

    I wonder how long this insanity will last....

    You think that is a credible unbiased source ?? Lol Check out the book "Average is Over".....yes there are more wealthy people, but there are a lot more people getting poorer (and no longer in the middle class). Since 2008, 75% of the jobs that came back are $13.75 and lower. For every person...

    Registering from out of province?

    It sounds like they fixed it and now has a clean ownership, so does the ontario ministry of transportation just go by that?

    He is asking about tax rates. In Toronto they are around 0.8%, in places like Pickering and Oshawa they are about 1.5% of the house value. That is why in Toronto a person with a house at 600k is paying the same tax as a person outside the city with a house worth 300K
