    Then maybe they shouldn’t have let costs of living get so out of control that people can’t live in Toronto so that the only source of spend is people who have to commute in?

    We knew the housing market in Toronto (and Vancouver) was getting stupid in 1997, but doing something about it back then would have meant the rich might have had to make do with a little less. We had additional changes in 2001, 2008 and probably as recently as 2020, but still refused each time because, again, it was making rich people richer.
