Toronto has cut a deal with MPAC so they pay very little property tax compared to cities in North America. Toronto property taxes have not increased since Mel Lastman was mayor. The rest of Ontario is paying for the infastructure  of Toronto. When a property in Ontario at 500,000$ pays more tax than a detached house in Toronto at $1500,000, there is something drastically wrong. You are drinking the Kool aid, its only a matter of time until Toronto wakes up to taxes!!
