ION Phase 2 - Cambridge's Light Rail Transit

Another is that municipalities just don't have the proper tax tools at the moment. Taxing properties is not the right way to fund transit.

I'll certainly agree with you on that!

I figure we should increase the HST back to where it was (2% points higher than it is), with the extra money going directly to municipalities. Municipalities can’t impose their own sales taxes (and I don’t really like the idea of having thousands of sales tax jurisdictions in the country) but it makes sense to give them a share of the single tax.
