Wasn't sure where to put this... but here seems relevant as it is related overall cost of home ownership.
'Rain tax': People in Toronto could end up paying for the rain that falls on their property
The stormwater charge (to give it its proper name) would mostly reduce water bills for apartment and condo buildingsnationalpost.com
A rain tax. Torontonians deserve this so much.
Update:
Toronto's controversial 'rain tax' has been put on hold
Mayor says people need information on 'how to make their land more porous... to prevent the flooding that may happen when a big storm comes'

If you think that is hilarious,

Toronto’s tax rate for 2023 was 0.66 per cent, which included the city’s tax rate and building fund, and 0.15 per cent for the education tax rate. In 2023, smaller cities tended to have the highest tax rates such as Waterloo, Ont., at 1.20 per cent, and Sault Ste-Marie, Ont. at 1.72 per cent.
How are property tax rates calculated and what do they pay for?
Toronto’s property-tax rate could jump 10.5%.

So instead of begging for provincial and federal bailouts, maybe Toronto should charge a reasonable tax rate?If you think that is hilarious,

I just pay taxes. Never claimed to understand the national system.
But, I did know how one department, in one city, was funded.
The funding was based on the census population, not the business day population.
As a result, there were always more people requiring 9-1-1 service than the dept. was funded for.
Consequently,

If you want to call that "begging", I
you.As far as griping about tax rates, Toronto's at 0.67%, is significantly higher than Vancouver's at 0.28%.
I'll leave it for a taxation expert to explain why.
'Quite remarkable': More than 4,000 people have expressed interest in $10 land plots in small-town Ontario
A small town in northeastern Ontario is being inundated with interest after announcing a program that would see plots of land for new home builds being offered for as low as $10 along with a five-year property tax break.
Definitely some interest

We are really trying to get our kids home to the farm. (TBC these are my wife’s kids from her 1st marriage. My child passed away). The problem they have, and I agree, is that there is no bright lights, big future like more urban or metro. There is no real government services, no bank headquarters, No hospitals, big box stores, no corporate ladders, no universities, no big league sports, etc.
The life Canadians are being told to live just to have 2 nickels to rub together is not conducive to the places where the “old stock” youth can own a nice home and stay within arcs on their career paths.
That is quite a change from 10 years ago where even I lived in an Ontario city, in a home that I would no longer be able to afford to buy even if I was a young man with an established career.
I’ve built a nice second home for one of the kids on the property, he’ll come home but he’s got some more things to do 1st. One of the others is in the USAF and she’ll come in about 4 years. The 3rd is in Tel Aviv and she has business in the service to finish there before coming home and starting university.

We’ve got to simply halt all foreign students in Canada, purge the slum lords, reconfigure housin for students, set standards and accountability. And above all admit students responsibly without cratering standards, communities and population balance.
