This is just one case of MANY. A warning to America of what could be in your future.
From the creepy Toronto Police on up, the security industrial complex is bankrupting Canada, and fast.
How powerful are these unaccountable domestic rackets? They just tell their pay masters "we need this much money and you have 30 days to come up with it. Have a great day patsy!"
Meddling in our economy and in the intimate lives of Canadians isn't enough. Decimating our economy and driving the best and brightest, even new immigrants, to other countries isn't enough. They need to bankrupt the nation and let kids starve.
Imagine buying a house for less than $200k and paying $300 a month in property taxes alone. They are bankrupting us. People relying on food banks, credit cards while consumption is down big time.
Several Ontario municipalities that rely on provincial police services are scrambling to revise their budget plans for next year after being suddenly saddled with skyrocketing law enforcement bills, a spike they say came with no warning or explanation.
The bills handed down by Ontario Provincial Police for 2025 represent a jump of more than 30 per cent in some cases, and at least one municipality is facing more than double the previous price tag, leaving local leaders to consider tax hikes or spending cuts to offset the costs.
“It’s outrageous to put this on our property taxpayers,” said Yvonne Hamlin, the mayor of Collingwood, a popular tourist destination known for its skiing.
The town of roughly 30,000 full-time and seasonal residents was told its policing bill would jump by 37 per cent next year, which would require a roughly five per cent property tax hike, Hamlin said.
“We’re going to get to not proceeding with projects that are on the books or potentially cutting services,” she said. ”But there’s certain services (that can’t be cut). If you’re in a snow belt, you’re not cutting your snow plowing.”
