Toronto taxpayers haven't had good news in many years. Although mayoral candidate George Smitherman recently announced his desire to reduce or eliminate the vehicle registration tax, he is not the mayor and has no chance of becoming one until the fall. In the meantime, Torontonians will have to deal with another city budget from tax-and-spend Mayor Miller. That will be introduced February 16. Rest assured, the CTF will continue to advocate for lower taxes and restrained spending instead of the 4 per cent tax hike and 10 percent spending hikes that occured last year.

Last year, CTF Ontario director Kevin Gaudet confronted a city councillor on the massive $8.7 billion budget and the continual tax increases that enabled this spending on bike paths, trees, and all sorts of initiatives that weren't necessary. The video from CTV, Global, and CityTV is below. And if you appreciate the CTF, please join us by adding your email to our mailing list or even give a donation.
