With the Development Charges being cut by Doug Ford's government, the municipalities will have to get revenue to build the sewers, water mains, roads, etc.. Likely the property taxes will have to go up.

In Mississauga, the Residential Tax Rate is about 0.803063%. Residential Farm Awaiting Development I is about 0.240919%, but those Awaiting Development II is about 0.803063%.

We'll likely see the stage I tax rate disappear and replaced with stage II 0.803063% rate, to make up for the lost development charges.

BTW. The Parking Lot Tax Rate is 1.866130%. Industrial Tax Rate is 2.115897%.
 
I'm not sure if we have an appropriate thread for this, but since Nuclear Energy in Ontario is the responsbility of Ontario Power Generation (a Crown Corp), I'll put this here:

www.theglobeandmail.com

Nuclear reactor pressure tubes are deteriorating faster than expected. Critics warn regulators are ‘breaking their own rules’

The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission has allowed utilities to operate tubes beyond licensing limits, a crucial concession for the nation’s aging reactors
www.theglobeandmail.com www.theglobeandmail.com

Its a Globe and Mail piece that's sending up some alarms around aging pressure tubes in our reactors and the risks thereof.
 
Others may have seen the Friends of the Golden Horseshoe website (https://friendsofgh.ca/ ) I hadn't and it has lots of interesting comments. David Crombie is much involved. They have just sent an open letter to Tory and Ford about the Ontario Place proposals - they are not in favour.
 

Doug Ford says Ontario will accept Trudeau government’s conditions for new health-care funding. https://www.thestar.com/politics/pr...s-conditions-for-new-health-care-funding.html​

Frankly, I can see no reason why any Province would object to telling the Feds how they spend the $$ they receive when it is given for a particular purpose and glad Ford is agreeing. Health Care is clearly a Provincial responsibility but if you get $$ to help pay for some of it it really makes no sense not to account for this.
 
Of course he said this at a photo-op at a Shoppers Doug Mart.
