Why do liberals like jihad so much ? <| sep |> seeing as there ' s also garbage collection , water hydro etc . I pay for water , i pay for hydro , garbage collection is a part of property taxes . investments in things like public transit etc . Cost for that is going up and has gone up every single year for the last 20 years or so . All that assumes you never set food in a park or walk on sidewalksAgain , used by people who are also from outside the city , and they do not pay taxes . Also most of the surrounding suburbs pay similar absolute taxes to their municipalities or even greater , They pay similiar but they do not get the massive amount of wear and tear that the city of toronto gets from people who do not pay local taxes . Millions from Toronto are not going to visit whitby or oakville in vast numbers and on a daily basis .
