Dear John,

Did you know that from 2000 to 2023, municipal per-person spending increased by 25.2%?

It's true. And during that same period, municipal government revenue — generated from property taxes and transfers from other levels of government — increased by 33.7% per person.

And yet, among all three levels of government, municipal government spending has actually experienced the slowest rate of growth over the last 10 years – underscoring the large spikes in spending at all government levels across Canada!

In light of record-high spending in municipalities across Canada, residents should consider whether or not crime, homelessness, public transit, and other services have actually improved.

Check out the full study here [[link removed]], and be sure to share these findings with your friends and colleagues!

Sincerely,

Niels Veldhuis

President
