Toronto asked to “Axe the Tax”
A Toronto Real Estate Board directive to its members:
Strong public attendance at the upcoming Toronto City Council meeting can influence the vote! Council is scheduled to debate and vote on this tax on Monday October 22, 2007. It is very important that as many people as possible attend this meeting to demonstrate to City Councillors that the public does not want this tax.
The City of Toronto wants to charge a second land transfer tax that would DOUBLE the current provincial land transfer tax. REALTORS® have shown City Council that there is strong opposition to this tax. Your continued help is needed. What you can do?
Attend the Meeting! Anyone from the public is allowed to attend the City Council meeting to OBSERVE (City Council’s meeting rules do not allow public deputations). The Toronto Real Estate Board encourages you to attend this meeting to continue the strong opposition that Realtors and the public have shown.
Or in other words: Real Estate commissions are at stake here folks!

Toronto real estate agents,
Maybe you REALTORS® don't have a sense of humour, perspective and can't spell - "affect," "money" (no plural of "money").

David,
don't get me wrong. I am not leading anything, and it is not Toronto realtors that this whole issue will effect the most. It is our clients, clients of our business competitors, maybe you or your friends that will have to pay extra moneys when land transfer tax becomes effective.

Y'know, I'd be tempted to go if this weren't being led by a REALTOR®.
