I managed not to trigger anybody on the internet today. I think I did good. Gonna finish loading the dishwasher with my cast iron pans and let it run overnight then go to bed.
 
Toronto wants to tax the rain that falls on your land. So ridiculous. Sure hope that doesn't take off everywhere or province wide. Another attack on land owners and farmers.
 
Storm water management dude. Waste water management is expensive. They are changing from flat fee to hard surface size based charge. More hard surface, pay more. I know you don't get it, so I am explaining it to you. Lawn doesn't get counted.

And Kevin Voung who had a sex assault charge is the person you go to for news? The Liberals dropped him as a candidate...

What does this even have to do with waste management? People already have to pay tax for that too. Several sources are reporting this. No Idea who this Kevin guy is.

Just hope this kind of taxation doesn't take off everywhere. It's completely ridiculous, we already pay enough as is.

Storm water management. When you have buildings, the rain water does not get soaked up by the concrete (unlike lawn) and it goes to the storm drains. This has to be maintained. This is already part of the water rate. Newer part of city has storm drains hooked up directly to the rivers and lakes. Older part still goes to sewer and that gets treated at water treatment plants.

It is not a new charge, just the calculation is changing. Kevin Voung is the guy that coined the term rain tax.

This was proposed during Tory's term as mayor. It is just getting tabled to go into effect now.

'Rain tax': People in Toronto could end up paying for the rain that falls on their property

The stormwater charge (to give it its proper name) would mostly reduce water bills for apartment and condo buildings
