New $2.00 Special Fee for MNR

[phoenix]

I use 800 gigs a month (yes 800) streaming tv and a dozen devices in the house for the family. My bill is 50.00 bucks. Actually it has dropped the past few years.

WHAT?!?!?! Who do you use?

I use between 300-600 a month. I dont have cable and use the internet to stream TV and movies in HD. $50 a month is an amazing deal, im at $60 a month (60mbps down/10mbps up) with rogers only because i went through the office of the president for a complaint.

Thats how I got my price at bell.

At one point for all my services Cell, internet, satelite (2nd largest pacage) and landline (unlimited in North america) I was getting for about 100.00 bucks. This lasted foe about 6 years before they discovered these discounts were suppose to be a 1 time thing and discovered they had set them at recurring. .

Now when they pull up my name they won't give me the extreme discounts but I still got a decent bill.

No cable or satellite here.. internet is used to Stream tv...
Cell phones paid for by companies... No options on lands lines.. basic.. so I pay $45 for internet.. and$20 for phone.. kids require internet for school. Projects are stored on the cloud now... so I really don't have a choice in that.. as local library is A 20 minute drive and only open on Saturdays.

As my family learns more and more to stream internet the satellite will go away.

Hey man, I hear your situation, lots of people out there have to spend on whats important 1st and foremost.
Hunting and fishing are privileges, just like driving a car, healthcare, social assistance, owning a cell phone ect... these are privileges not rights, Canadians pay for these privileges and with the rising cost of everything else these days, I guess we can expect a rise in the cost to hunt or fish. Now I didn't vote liberal, but I'm not going to blame a political party that runs the largest province in Canada, where hunting and fishing are at the bottom of the totem pole...

The way I see it you are finding it hard to afford other things in life that are more important than H&F then perhaps you scale back of either of the 2. As we all know it's much more cheaper to buy meat and fish than it is to actually hunt or fish for them when you take into account the $$ spent on ATV's, Boats, rods/reels/guns ect....

Umm. I think you are missing what I'm saying, or not getting the point. As I previously noted, the $$ amount isn't the point. Sure it's only $2 and that's not too bad really....about the same as buying a coffee a day (for those that do that and don't seem to realize that you can make a pot of coffee a day for literally pennies ). My point is this: the Provincial Govt. is forcing us to pay. Yet, an audited final report has found that the cost to the Govt. of cancelling the gas plants in Oakville and Mississauga is $950 Million. That is $950 Million tax dollars that were flushed down the pooper and that will never be recovered. That is money that you and I have already paid and was absolutely disgustingly wasted....for what? A campaign promise. To get votes. Nothing more, nothing less. This is merely 1 example of the provincial libs screwing up the books. So I have a hard time giving someone a toonie who just wasted several hundred million $$$$. I don't like turning this into a political issue (this is supposed to be about fishing and hunting right?). But, in this situation, it's difficult to separate the issues.....

Actually the Liberals have made something like energy the most expensive in all of North America. So bashing them about this 2.00 when they took the other monies to support Toronto is perfectly fair. What the Liberals need to do is learn not to screw up. Even they admit they are a bunch of screw ups. Problem is these screw ups have cost Ontario over 200 Billion will noting to show for it. Good example. Is if your wife tossed 20 grand out the door would that be a good use of your money?

Well to put it simply; Someone voted these clowns in... Did you vote? I didn't and I guess what, I'm paying for It to fish and hunt $2 more at a time. Nothing I can do now until the next election....

Toronto and surrounding areas primarily voted them in. Toronto should be given a special tax to pay for all over runs (200 Billion) since they have been in power.

Agreed. That red bit down there should be ponying up

Than you have no right to complain. You had for say. Your choice was "meh I don't care"
