Mel Lastman set tone on keeping property taxes low

Do you know this Canadian solider who was stationed in The Netherlands?

I was given a rather interesting assignment recently on our Canadian Association of Research Libraries tour in the Netherlands.

The Canadian soldier (corporal) seen in the photo below is one of the liberators of the Netherlands in Second World War. In a period between September 1944 and early April 1945, he was housed with a family in Eindhoven, a city in the south of the Netherlands. The family name is Andersson and their address was Franciscus Sonniusstraat 18 in Eindhoven. The name of the mother was Alida Catharina Andersson (born 1908) and the father was Henricus Johannes Andersson (born 1907). They had three sons: Anton (born 1936), Pieter (born 1940) and Hans (born 1946). The picture was sent by the soldier to the family in Eindhoven after the war. In the picture are his wife and son in Canada. We do not have his name or city the picture was sent from.

look at the price of food: you go in to buy apples, you buy a lettuce, a celery. Six bucks, eight bucks. It’s crazy. Then you come along the last thing in the line, the taxes.

You increase taxes? Where the hell will they get the money?”

Upstairs, Lastman’s successors spent the day grappling with the need for a 2.6 per cent cut to all programs in order to write a budget that’s sustainable.

Property taxes have actually been shrinking over the years, and services have become more expensive.

Under questioning from councillors, staff acknowledged services are going to be constrained and necessary growth in services will be nearly impossible. The tricks that saved Lastman and his successors – deferring expenses through what turned out to be bad leasing deals, or ballooning revenue from our ever-bubbling land transfer tax, rescues from more sympathetic provincial governments – won’t be available for long. So that means service cuts in the short term, and in the long term? Maybe revenue tools. But Lastman wasn’t so sure about those. A little alcohol tax, some tobacco tax… maybe hotels would be fine. “But if they start hitting on other taxes they’re in trouble, because the people can’t afford them and they’re going to get fed up with politicians completely,” warned Lastman. With words of wisdom like that from amalgamated Toronto’s founding father, it seems pretty clear that we’ve all been in trouble for a very long time.

@InsideTOnews

It’s an ongoing battle - to turn up the air conditioner or not turn up the air conditioner. What did you choose during the recent heatwave? Send comments to newsroom@insidetoronto.com

It was only appropriate that as Toronto Council began to debate its budget directions for 2017, surviving mayors of Toronto’s preamalgamation municipalities should be gathered to unveil a display of portraits and a bit of a light history lesson on amalgamation.

Former Toronto mayor Barbara Hall was there along with exEtobicoke mayor Doug Holyday, former York mayor Frances Nunziata and East York’s last mayor Michael Prue.

And of course, there was Mel Lastman – North York’s first, last and only mayor; and arguably one of the preeminent co-authors of the financial conundrum that Toronto is facing today.

Lastman was North York’s favourite son, a successful municipal politician whose boosterish approach to governance made his re-election in North York a certainty and made him a good bet to win the mayoralty in the first election of amalgamated Toronto.

It was a good bet but by no means a sure thing, and to nail it down, Lastman relied on two things: the love of his North York constituents, and a promise to freeze property taxes for three years straight.

This, he did for the first three costly years of amalgamated Toronto. And they set a standard – impossible to meet, but always there – of very low property tax increases. Because of that, revenue has never quite kept up with demand.

On Tuesday, Lastman offered a reminder of his original pitch.

ESCAPING THE TRAP:

Preying on the vulnerable from homeless girls to the girl next door Girls are growing up online, and many in Greater toronto spend as much time with social media as they do in school, chatting, liking, posting. they don’t know pimps are watching.

Predatory men and boys are waiting not just at the shopping mall, but on Instagram, Snapchat, free dating sites, anywhere they can catch a girl at the right moment. experts say that could be after she argues with her parents, or expresses vulnerability about her looks. “they’ll tell her how smart she is, how pretty she is, that she’s a grown-up who can make her own decisions and doesn’t have to listen to her parents,”

says Michele anderson, human trafficking advocate for toronto’s Covenant House.

Sixteen is a typical age, but girls as young as 12 are targets. “they tell their life stories online,” saying things like, “I look fat today,” said Det.-Sgt. nunzio tramontozzi, head of the toronto Police human trafficking team. trolling, traffickers start out by assuring the girl, “You’re not, you look great,” he said.

“Within days, they hook them.” online luring is one reason sex trafficking happens around Greater toronto

NEXT: How Ontario’s new antitrafficking strategy could convict more traffickers and offer crucial support to more survivors.

This is some of the language and words used which could indicate a girl is trapped in “The Game” (prostitution).

Sources: East Metro Youth Services, kidsmediacentre, Toronto police detective

MORE ONLINE Karly’s story: From being homeless and a drug addict who engaged in the sex trade as a teenager, Karly found a way out and is now giving hope as a peer counselor to women and girls who survived sex trafficking or are still in the sex trade. (bit.ly/karlystory) Signs a girl is being lured: Experts say sex trafficking masks itself as a typical relationship for a girl. Parents and friends can spot these and other warning signs a girl is in a dangerous relationship. (bit.ly/luringsigns)

MIKE ADLER AND FANNIE SUNSHINE newsroom@insidetoronto.com

“He played on those vulnerabilities, knowing I wanted this relationship to be my forever.”

Olivia worked as his girl for two years, in hotel rooms from Burlington and Oakville to Markham, Richmond Hill, and downtown Toronto.

“To some degree, the industry itself met a lot of my needs. Now I felt good at something. I felt desired.”

Leaving was difficult. She was incredibly scared for her reputation, and her trafficker threatened to send her sex ads to people she cared about.

One day, a police officer posed as a John, checking Olivia’s identification to see if she was underage. She wasn’t, and wasn’t too receptive to his questions, but kept his card.

It was six months before she called, hoping to escape and rebuild her life.

Some trafficked women and girls finally, literally run for their lives. Others are held in place by ingrained feelings of love, dependence or fear.

Luring is sometimes done by women, most often by friends who are victims themselves.

Some are told they could be “partners” with their trafficker if they recruit replacements.

Recruiting is a means of selfpreservation, a chance to have sex with fewer people, said Carly Kalish, a therapist for the Scarborough-based East Metro Youth Services.

“The illusion of being their partner is a big part of why you stay, but it’s never actually the case,” she said.

@InsideTOnews

- a hub for this type of crime through which victims are moved quickly from hotel to hotel - not just to homeless girls, but to the girl next door.

If a child looks for validation or acceptance in an online space, and someone offers it, “that’s an adrenaline rush, that’s dopamine,” said Debbie Gordon, director of kidsmediacentre at Centennial College.

Online culture puts pressure on children to get approval for posts, or to build up followers, without really caring who those followers are, she said.

Some may say, “If I show more, take more risks, the next selfie will get more likes,” added Gordon. “You see so many kids taking such incredible risks.”

A trafficker will suggest meeting for dinner or coffee, and will shower a girl with expensive designer purses or cell phones, said Anderson.

They’ll then head to a hotel, where the girl is introduced to some of the trafficker’s friends, and she’s forced to have sex with them in exchange for the gifts she received.

“They’ll say, ‘What, you think this is all free?’” Anderson said.

If the girl resists, blackmail ensues.

Or the trafficker gets aggressive and abusive.

Victims are typically allowed home at night, but the threat of physical violence always looms if they dare tell anyone what’s happening, Anderson said.

In Olivia’s case, the trafficker was someone she knew from high school, entering her life when she was about 20, struggling with her mental health and severely low self-esteem.

There was a honeymoon phase where she felt special and loved. Olivia (not her real name) began living with the trafficker, feeling like she hit the jackpot.
