Cut funding
Currently Toronto funds a wide variety of programs that could seek alternative funding from corporate sponsorships and private philanthropy.
Marginal cuts and marginal increases are the fairest way to keep the level of service we all want...
HOW can we increase taxes in this city? They're so high already. Let's make necessary cuts to non-essential services and ease up on taxation
Road tolls, vehicle registration tax, reduce IT footprint w/ open source technology. Release all gov't data to let us help w/ cost cutting!
No one likes to pay more taxes, but when it's difference between paying an extra $20 a year and cutting our services in half, I'd choose the former.

I think it's impossible to increase or decrease taxes or spending. It's a pickle, I'll admit it!
This is just the coolest thing.
Moderation is key. We have to increase taxes A LITTLE and decrease spending A LITTLE so we maintain the core services we need.
We should decrease spending only slightly: it's still needed for many of the services we use in the city. Increase taxes on the wealthy.
Wish the city could get a portion of the sales tax, similar to US cities. This city can't be great with property taxes, alone.
Spending is essential for the city. It brings us the programs we love. What we need is to increase revenue through corporate sponsorship.
you don't cease to amaze me Stu.
I love Toronto and it's world-class services. Increase revenue.Look for efficiencies that really are efficiencies, not service cuts.
If you want a great city where people thrive, this is how it must be. If you want a place where people only exist, there are other options.
there's no real other option.
The city is already very efficient in its programs, maintain them and raise taxes smartly, not flat user fees.
Toronto is a great city because we have great public services. Let's not fritter that away
Don't cut funding
