Toronto, ON: The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is sounding the alarm after a shocking email from Toronto’s budget and finance department revealing that Rail Deck Park is currently more than "99.9 per cent unfunded.”
“Toronto’s broke, but now we find out Mayor John Tory and city councillors have zero plan to pay for their multi-billion-dollar park pipedream,” said Jasmine Moulton, Ontario Director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. “In Canada, you’re not even allowed to buy a cheap house with less than five per cent for a down payment, yet Toronto plans to undertake a multi-billion-dollar project with less than 0.1 per cent of the funding figured out.”
