I mean, debate the merits of a tax increase or this particular type of tax increase all you want, but I just don't see what's sneaky about it? Unless I'm missing something?
Well consider that they campaigned on not raising taxes on the middle class first of all which goes with the election lie of not putting in a carbon tax, its disturbing.

But jacking up a tax and hiding in in a municipal tax form feels like they were hoping that nobody would notice.

And not saying hey your property taxes are going up by X percentage because of whatever is kind of slimy.

They got busted and then they released a statement.
