Toronto mayoral by-election, Corriere Canadese interviews Anthony Perruzza: “No Torontonians’ money anymore to the Province”

Today, Corriere Canadese is publishing another interview on the contending candidates seeking election as Mayor of Toronto. 102 individuals have registered with the Elections Office at City Hall, and the Italian newspaper will not be able to give all of them the coverage they might like, so it proposes, but will not be limited to, interviewing interested candidates whom “the polls” suggest may garner at least 4% of the votes.

TORONTO – A smart city, with simple solutions for big problems. But, first of all, no Torontonians’ money anymore to the Province: “With me as a Mayor, the 2.2 billion dollars we give yearly to the Province will stay here, in Toronto. I’m not giving all that money to the Province anymore”. 

Torontonians on their knees, but City raises taxes

TORONTO – In full pandemic, after two disastrous years for everyone from a financial point of view, the City of Toronto increases property taxes by 4.4%. The City had announced it and the Budget Committee reiterated it today, unanimously, in view of the approval by the city council, scheduled for next February 17. A sort of “coup de grace” that the administration led by Mayor John Tory (in the pic above, from his Twitter profile) is about to inflict on the inhabitants of Toronto, now economically in agony after two years spent in the grip of Covid-19.
