If we are better at spending money then the government you might as well scrap all the carbon taxes too. And then wages for any elected official
@Scundoor Sup but doug ford said in his election im going lower your hydro bill where is it right
@garry w its slated to go up
@sorshia emms but who sais lower hydro bill nut keep on voting buck a beer ford
All but land tax like it was 100 years ago
@Freitazlowdough cpp
We will have to make up for that one way or another. Taxes will go up.
You must be fun at birthday parties with that attitude
Taxes and payments for energies will be gone.
Look into Gesara
Look into devolution.
@Phil Henderson Nothing I guess, because the more money you give to government, the more they find a way to waste.
EXACTLY!!!!!!
How about downsizing the government? It’s like a cancer that never stops growing.
It’ll just be added to another tax
That’s exactly what’s going to happen
But that lovely tidbit won’t drop until after the June 2022 election. This is a means to try to earn support.
Yeah June is just around the corner. Hope everyone remembers how he can switch morals.
@Morpheus A. Smith Think you have an annoying life if you think that was annoying
“Switch(ing) morals”
would imply that he has or is guided by them.
Have you not been paying attention??
@Donald Burden @edward gibson
The mental and ethical gymnastics
that conservatives will perform
should be in the next Olympics.
It’s astounding.
@tom bottle that’s fine, I still can’t reconcile the perpetual liberal hypocrisy at any level of government, I know who will never get my vote and who might. With any luck the bureaucracy implodes in a currency crash and the government starves to death.
@Donald Burden I’m not saying the Liberal Party is not without hypocrisy.
I am not a Liberal voter.
But the partisanship shown to blatantly overlook
the hypocrisy of the Conservative Party
by such a large number of con voters is insane.
Blind, devout loyalty should not be given to politicians of any party.
And yes … he sold you out last week and he is now handing out candy. Nothing is free and nothing is what you see, he will shift that cost to a different tax or even make up a new tax.
What needs to happen is, SCRAP all the overhead related to the sticker fee system. I bet you that it cost more to administer it than what it brings in.
Where is my buck a beer???
Agree
Must be an election coming.
Know what it is that you becase the next election?
@Cloudie 9 Druoid Citizens are already paying the costs of climate change.
Corporations, not so much.
Yup, it’s 100 days till next provincial election, for sure this is ford trying to buy votes
Thats the only reason he is doing this
100% political move
He will cut someplace else, or add some other tax. The government needs money with all of the debt it has.
💯👍🏻
Probably true but I’m sure they will do that anyways so I will accept this small change either way.
Shame on you, Doug Ford! What about the peaceful protesters, unike the heavy-handed, no holes barred police? Why are you also not interested in trying to negotiate with our fellow Canadians? Dark, dark days . What has happened to our beautiful democracy?!!
This is to get the 905 vote in the June 2022 election: all the working class surrounding Toronto who have to drive 4-6 hours daily to work because you can’t afford to live in Toronto. Nice try though
I used to drive around 3 to 3.5 hours a day when I worked in GTA. it was not fun, feel much better now when I moved out and have different job, more time with family
So hypocrite. He thinks it sounds go. He gives with one hand and then hits you with the other. We are not stupid
@Irene Carriere But the Conservative base is…
I own a car and motorcycle living in toronto so… yeah.
We need no tax on hydro and heating fuel. THAT would really help
@K-Anator™ cool thanks for the correction.
What exactly is the delivery fee for seeing how everything is electric, online transaction anyway
Thanks for the crumbs. You have lost this conservative!
@Charles mason Be happy Charles , you can buy two cases of beer with $120 . And Ford will grab half that back in beer taxes !
@edith Art Delivery fee is for sending power down the lines to your house and the infrastructure required to do that.
How that infrastructure costs so much to upkeep is beyond me though, way more money and tech goes in to keeping the internet flowing in to our homes, and it’s entire price can be as low as the delivery fee for hydro. (pending you don’t mind slow internet)
GRADE 4: Doug has made strides in his ability to read aloud. Four words at a time is an improvement on the three of last term. His ideas are fully transparent however, and his peers are not yet able to give them any credibility. Doug should practice reading every day and learn the meaning of integrity.
So should you. Your writing is atrocious.
@Morpheus A. Smith You had to edit this two sentence reply?
Kind of says a lot about your own level of writing.
Well, what can you expect from the Thing from the movie, Fantastic Four? He can’t even pickup a small object from the floor, let alone a bigger object! And he’s certainly not the sharpest knife in the drawer, that’s for sure! Hahahahaha!
Minimum wages should be exactly the wages for a prime minister. So he can reflect on the real cost of living in his country.
Absolutely !! And 3 year term limits for all politicians . Maximum 2 terms
@Razz. Cococo You really want an election every 3 years? That would be both provincial and federal, so you would have one on average every 1.5 years.
We pay an average of $40 more to fill up every 1-2 weeks. SMH. Lower groceries, and fuel, and utilities!!! $120 doesn’t even get you a grocery cart full of food these days! Shame on Ontario and Canada!
Thank the Feds for those. Carbon Tax on fuel and constantly printing money causing increased inflation. Not to take what Ford’s done, or hasn’t done.
I’m holding back tears at the self check out just trying to do a small load. I have $80 until March 3rd. And I have cushy city job.
@EndlessFunctionality Money being printed by the Bank of Canada, as it was once done, no paying interest to federal reserve.
This is his campaign speech. Saving families money? What a joke! Many families lost their entire income when their businesses failed or lost their job due to the lockdowns. His wealth increased 10 fold during our suffering. How stupid does he think Ontarians are? He’s done.
@Patricia Beyer so why does the west always vote PC?
@Bernard Villalon
They had the CRS site and Service Canada site.
Trudeau’s government is demanding pay back from those who (…let go from work cuz of covid lockdown…) and meet that requirement and used the Service Canada.
Why do not control a crazy car insurance ?
Exactly. Be very careful who you vote for…👎🏼
@leanatrulsen agreed
Wonderful! I’m robbed at gun point but the robber lets me keep the change in my pocket. I’ve never heard such blatant double speak. Do Canadians enjoy being talked down to like that?
Bill Burr had a great one, It’s like being robbed, and when the robber gets your wallet they see it’s your birthday on your drivers license, and they give you $5 out of your wallet and run away with it.
Conservatives voters have masochistic tendencies.
Conservative politicians have sadistic ones.
Kinky.
He is not gonna fool me, he is not getting my vote.
The banking cartel police didn’t end the protest they just started it.
“The best place for your money is in your pocket, not the governments pocket.” Hahahahaha this guy would get my vote if it was a comedy election
All elections are comedy elections; there all a joke
😅😅😅😅😅 Mr Ford is one of the best ministers: he is always flexible in his decision and pays attention to the folks ‘ interests and concerns. HE DESERVES TO BE RE-VOTED.
@Modestine Djato Yes, but which folks?
You don’t believe him?
If they will drop the license sticker, then, they’ll find other means to bring revenue to the coffers of Ontario =
By increasing income tax, raise property tax, etc.
True! Except that property taxes don’t go to the province, they go to the municipality.
they already are — at the fuel pump.
Think of all the MTO employees he can lay off and offices they can close now. All you need is a plate. Those last a long time and can be mailed to you.
The fact he said all that with a straight face is amazing. Lol
This is a yearly fee. His real focus should be on keeping MONTHLY electricity bills down for ALL of Ontario, which would reduce costs for business and eliminate the low/medium/high density bills that saddle many Ontarians. It’s ridiculous that we pay twice as much as Québec on average. Do electrons cost more in Ontario than Quebec?
We need TAX FREE electricity, Kosovo has FREE electricity, it can be done
I agree, warmth is a basic need and not all Ontarians(?) have cars. Its’ pretty obvious which voters he’s courting here. But let’s wait and see. He had promised low cost housing, but to my knowledge, these houses have yet to be built.
