If $2 on a 26 is going to affect you, then you probably have a drinking problem.

If $.10 cents a litre more in gas affects you, you're poor.
If $50 more on propert tax affects you, you're poor.
If a 10% increase in your hydro bill affects you, you're poor.
If your pay at work goes up 5% per year, but everything else is going up at a far faster rate...
I think people will have to get used to the fact that the good times of easy money and fat living are over! I don't think we've even begun to see the real depression that will hit the US and spill over into Canada...

Yes, you're exactly right. I wonder how much property taxes for homeowners in Vancouver has gone up?
The government is completely fucking corrupt and robs people blind. How much money is being wasted with 0 accountability, and how much MORE money will they take through bullshit nickel-and-dime methods like this?
1 million+ a day to keep the downtown eastside going, where as it would be less than 1 month's cost to fly them ALL to a tropical country, dump them on a beach with tents provide them with the basics of food and medicine, and say "Cya!".

they already said on the news, property tax for next year will go up about 7-9% depending on where you live. but either way, its going up.
when the inflated assestment price went up, gov't shrugged as property tax is based on that. now that the price is going back to its real level, the gov't raises its percentage of property tax to compensate...
plus then, you can exploite that shit, fly them to a tropical island, have cameras all around, broadcast that live, real life LOST, sell the rights to a broadcaster, make more money! Quote:
