TheStar.com – Opinion – Cities in need of federal help
September 02, 2008. Arthur Donner, Doug Peters
“A poll commissioned by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) has found that there is consensus across Canada that municipal governments are underfunded. The poll showed that 90 per cent of people believe that the federal government should provide financial support to assist municipal governments with infrastructure issues and did not see property taxes or spending cuts as reasonable sources of revenue for municipalities.” (Center For Civic Government website, May 5, 2008)
