Yes or no to megacity?

At the start of January 1998, Toronto’s six municipal governments were amalgamated into one megacity, but a decade later financial problems still exist. The idea of amalgamation came with promises of huge cost savings, even cuts in property tax, but that never happened. Many blame the amalgamation for financial problems the city still faces today. The Conservative provincial government of Mike Harris promised amalgamation wouldn’t hurt the new city financially. But Toronto’s costs rose fast and revenue didn’t. The promised savings never materialized, nor did those property tax decreases. Harris later said that Toronto failed to make the necessary cuts. But others say Harris failed to realize how expensive such a large government would become. Property tax revenue barely budged, yet the cost of wages, social services and other programs skyrocketed. Over the following years, Toronto sunk deeper and deeper into a financial hole. Toronto now has new tax revenue coming in and it is hoped that this spring the provincial government may once again start paying for the expensive social programs cities were handed at amalgamation. What’s your view? Did amalgamation help or hinder the development of the city? Do you like the new GTA, or would you prefer the old municipalities?

Stop or GO?
The union representing GO Transit bus drivers and ticket agents says it’s not a matter of if, but when, its members will go on strike. A notice on the union’s website says the company will not be making any further offers and the union executive will meet Thursday to “determine when we will commence job action against the employer.” A final attempt by the company and the union to negotiate a new agreement failed on Wednesday. Unionized workers have been without a contract since June 1. It means nearly 1,200 bus drivers, ticket agents, office workers and maintenance crews could go on strike with 48 hours notice. Although GO train crews are not part of the same union – and GO trains will continue to run in the event of a strike – delays are expected. Do you use GO Transit? How will a strike affect your daily routine? Should public transit drivers be declared an essential service? What’s Your View?

What do you think about the new carbon tax?
Finance Minister Carole Taylor delivers the B.C. Budget. (CBC) British Columbians refusing to change the way they live will find it costs them more and more over the next three years to heat their homes and drive their cars once the province fully implements its new carbon tax. The Liberal government’s latest budget delivered today has introduced escalating taxes on all fossil fuels. It’s meant to encourage British Columbians to do everything from walking more to weather-stripping draughty windows and doors. The tax will escalate with each year and will eventually rake in $1.85 billion, but Finance Minister Carole Taylor maintains it will be revenue neutral and the government won’t use any of it to pay for general programs. She also says that in the first year, the extra money people pay will be off-set by personal and corporate income tax cuts and a $100 rebate to every adult and child in the province. Full Story What do you think about the new carbon tax? How much do you think it will cost you — or will you come out ahead?

Should B.C. seize impaired drivers’ cars?
The B.C. government is looking at its own version of an Ontario law that allows for the seizure and sale of vehicles owned by people convicted of impaired driving. The Ontario law requires drivers who’ve had three impaired driving convictions in 10 years to forfeit their vehicles to the province, which can then sell them. B.C. Solicitor General John Les said he is considering adopting similar legislation for B.C. that could be used against those with an established pattern of driving while impaired. Ultimately, any decision to seize a vehicle would have to be made by a judge in court, said Les. Full Story What do you think? Do you think B.C. should be able to seize the cars of drunk drivers, and sell them?
