Tbaî means tbat on a lax btll of $2.000) iv. 20014. a resîdent will be paying $4,366.40 in 20121. To Ibat end, I feel many people isilI be forced 10 selI their botes because the taxes isilI just be 100 bîgb for tbemn 10 remaîn. Wby can some regions arîss Ontarioi manage no tax increases wbîle ot-bers jusi keep goîng back 10 tbe public fo- mitre money? You can only go back stt many limes beltîre tbe selI is dry.
