This idea of someone else is erroneous. We are the someone else. You may think you're on an island, but as I've previously mentioned, most people live in major urban centres in this country. We are the taxpayers, and we are the people who'll pay for it. It's just that using property taxes as the principle way to raise the money required to pay for major infrastructure jobs in the cities is not reasonable.  These cities are where most Canadians live. How is that circular? It seems easy to understand to me.
