Toronto city staff propose 10.5% property tax hike at part of 2024 budget

Toronto staff are recommending a nine per cent hike to the city's residential property tax — the largest single-year increase since amalgamation in 1998 — as they look to fill a nearly $1.8 billion budget shortfall in 2024 and a grim long-term fiscal outlook.

With the recommendation of an additional 1.5 per cent increase to the city building tax, property owners could see their tax bill jump 10.5 per cent this year if the figures go unchanged during five weeks of scheduled budget debates and consultations.

‘It’s a bit ridiculous’: Toronto man frustrated after EV charging plans shut down

A Toronto man hoping to make the switch to an electric vehicle was left frustrated after consulting and working with the city for more than a year and a half, only to have his request to build a parking pad to support a charging station denied.

Summary:

  • Air Canada Flight 43 was forced to turn back to Delhi after cockpit sensors gave inaccurate warning to pull up.
  • Pilots followed safety protocols and returned to Delhi, avoiding a dangerous maneuver had they received the warning at a lower altitude.
  • Multiple recent incidents involving Air Canada, including diversions and a flight tainted with vomit, have drawn attention to the carrier's health and safety protocols.
  • Was going to note that too. I suspect workers are not willing to participate in unions because unions are less able to deliver higher pay (which is a big disincentive for participation). This could be a result of changing labour laws which reduce the fundamental efficacy of unions but regardless the outcome is lower willingness to participate.
