It wasn't the 35 degree temperatures that were making people in Toronto feel very uncomfortable today

It was the thought of Mayor David Miller ramming a couple more taxes down their throats.

That's right folks, on top of all the recent local tax hikes, Mayor [Miller] is considering imposing a $60 vehicle tax on top of the $74 provincial registration fee for motorists. And if that isn't bad enough, he is considering increasing land transfer taxes by a whopping 100 per cent.

And according to Bill Johnston, of the Toronto Real Estate Board, this increase "would give Toronto the highest land transfer taxes in Canada and the second highest in North America."

I think it's safe to say that the moratorium on new taxes proposed by the CTF's Kevin Gaudet will never see the light of day under this tax-and-spend dipper mayor.

Update

Just for good measure, why not throw in a sidewalk tax. *sigh*
