Toronto City Councillor Jim Karygiannis is gauging interest in a foreign buyers tax. Almost half of his ward supports some kind of tax on non-residents purchasing a home in the city. He joins BNN to discuss.
Uberis facing some changes in Toronto in an attempt to level the playing field between the so-called “ride-sharing” service and the city’s taxis. But many opponents are not satisfied that it does enough to benefit taxi drivers.
“this is creating an autonomous regime for Uber and a regime for everybody else”
Toronto councillor Jim Karygiannis said Thursday that a proposal offering new regulations on city taxis and Uber drivers does not offer an even playing field.
The City of Toronto has issued draft rules that would loosen regulations for the taxi industry while imposing new requirements for ride-hailing services like Uber.
