We are now paying more than 50 cents per litre at the pump to governments yet transit funding falls far short of needs.
Provincial and federal governments used to pay the majority of costs for new capital projects for transit. Now they pay a decreasing minority share.
Senior governments instead call for foreign corporate tax reductions.
The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, with more than $100 billion in revenues, pays $3 billion in corporate taxes. I would like to pay three per cent in tax.
Why are governments selling out to foreign corporate interests at our expense?
