General Road and Highway Discussion
(12-17-2016, 06:51 PM)tomh009 Wrote: Current gas taxes add up to 24.7 cents/litre (10 cents federal and 14.7 provincial) in Ontario, excluding HST (which applies to almost everything anyway).  

Most of Europe is 50-75 cents/litre.  Japan is about 50 cents/litre but highways are very frequently tolled.

Personally I would be happy to pay an extra 25 cents/litre if that got us better road infrastructure.  Current levels amount to roughly $13B/year; another 25 cents would nearly double that (assuming some reduction in driving due to higher prices).  Consistently spending an additional $10B/year on our roads and bridges alone would surely be a good start in catching up our transportation infrastructure deficit.

How much disposable income do you have to be happy to pay more in taxes? I know I'm not getting a raise in 2017 : /
