To be fair, indexing to inflation is more than fine. I was surprised that renewals for 1 and 2 years cost exactly such that the 2 year renewal is exactly twice as much as for 1 year. That seems odd to me. Plate renewal costs have also not changed in several years.CanadianLurker wrote: ↑ The the Bubba Dougherty’s Ford Gong Show rolls on....
In a proposal quietly posted to a regulatory registry for public comment, the government says it is seeking to introduce annual fee increases of two per cent "across the board" for "various driver, vehicle and carrier products and services."
The fee increases would start July 1 and continue for five years, under the proposal.

"People are fed up with paying more and more every time they need to renew their licence or take a driving test," Premier Doug Ford said in a statement at the time.
Can you hear that? That’s the sound of another flip-flop as he lets the people down again after realizing that his initial promise was made without any due diligence, without any sort of real plan or agenda, and without actually knowing what they’re doing....

We run a deficit still and I'm sure if it were up to Ford he would cut more and more (I wholeheartedly support mass spending cuts FWIW). So if he is using this 2% to pay for things that the Left keep on begging him to do, then so be it.
You can't have your cake and eat it too, and that seems to be what people, all up, want.

Not sure what the breakdown for the City of Ottawa is, but the city allocated $447M last year for infrastructure.zoro69 wrote: ↑ Partly funded by property taxes, partly from development charges, partly from the province, partly from the feds
eg kingston is building a new bridge, $30m from municipal taxes, $30m from development charges,$60m from the province, $60m from the feds.
a 2% increase in fees is...keeping them the same as last year

The property taxes have gone up a lot in the last 10 years. Not in %age, but due to higher valuations of houses. And I believe there's a limit on yearly increases, so they keep increasing every year. Too bad the roads haven't seen any of that windfall.

Yup, a 2% increase is a drop in the bucket.

Well, at 2% yearly for 5 yrs as proposed it will amount to a 10% cumulative increase in the end.Pete_Coach wrote: ↑ +1
What is lost in the anti Ford rhetoric is that he cancelled a 7% increase and will now, maybe, increase by 2%. Far less than the previous increase.

This. They adjust the mill rate to ensure that they collect the required taxes regardless of whether property values rise or fall.

I agree,
