Although our major weather freeze-up is forecast tomorrow, the Provincial government here has just announced that a property tax rebate equal to the maximum 5% increase just imposed by the property tax commission will be automatically applied.
This freezes the tax at 2021 levels, as the maximum 5% increase and corresponding rebate were applied last year also.
The government has now either disallowed increases or provided subsidies on every single supposedly "independent" commission legislated to take financial decisions out of government hands.
The commissions, of course, continue in being and are fully funded.
That the proportion of individuals on these commissions who are either failed candidates for the party in government, or major donors, or have been moved to the commissions in order that their previous jobs be filled with party henchmen, is well over 75% is pure coincidence.
You'd never guess it was an election year as well.
