Val tags going up again

[last5oh_302]

Oh joy:


The cost to renew an Ontario licence plate will go up again this September.
The annual cost for a southern Ontario sticker will be $120 as of Sept. 1. A northern Ontario plate will cost $60.

They are crooks..... I like how it says the Ontario Government has increased......Why doesn't it say the Ontario Liberal Government has increased rates....
They are such scammers....

That's so it is cheaper for them to hunt their entitlement of moose tags!!!
(Just kidding).....Its supposed to be because of higher gas prices, so I've been told.

Only 9 seats for the North.
Not worth giving us anything.

We are always 20+ cents per liter more than southern Ontario.
The drive to the closest city is 4 hours.
The highway maintenance in the winter is dangerously abysmal.
But we do get to use studded tires to help keep us alive on the road

Its cheaper in the north because the roads are so bad the plates fall off and we end up having to buying two or three a year.

This.

and it may be one of the few examples where the province does things at least somewhat right. Reality is the North is taxed equally on most things. Yet pound for pound get less in return. The GTA while the generate the most revenue by far, also uses/gets the most by far.
Its possibly arguable (due to all the debt...aka obviously we don't pay nearly what we spend) that the GTA is heavily subsidized by everyone else. Not sure that's word right but if a married couple go heavily into debt, and the majority of that debt is for Hubby's F150, $80,000 ranger, his ATV. Perhaps hubby should be ponying up more?

Carbon taxes are another example.
By far the biggest polluters is the S/GTA. We are all going to pay the same .05 per litre. In the north and rural Ontario where people have to drive a lot further to work, for a loaf of bread, a night out, than millions who can drive their new heavily subsidized ($15,000) electric car, or take heavily subsidized Go Train/TTC or drive their prious on well maintained roads....

Hydro?
where many rural Ontarians are getting stiffed, and also pay far more for it? And yet, it's cities that consume the most by a friggen country mile........


I wonder what the province would actually be like if more things operated this way. And the GTA paid their fair share/or Rural/Northern Ont paid less as in this case.

just how much more responsible they'd be and "fair" they'd be with our $
