Just the provincial portion went up 10%. Not the whole thing. Other than that, your enemy the mill rate is responsible.
I'm sure the woman on Global didn't buy a 700k house while working three jobs just to pay the tax bill. Renfrew is one of those dumpy neighborhoods that became inner city and desirable about twenty years ago. It's full of people who have lived there since the fifties and suddenly now they have proportionally much greater tax bills than they ever have had in the past. I'm sure given a choice she'd say keep the 700k. I just want to live in the house I grew up in for a manageable tax rate.
