Major events tax will be in effect in Vancouver for 7 years to help city offset cost of hosting the games.
Major events tax will be in effect in Vancouver for 7 years to help city offset cost of hosting the gamesHow about instead of taxing people EVEN MORE, we don't host this bullshit when our province is hurting this bad Oh, right. Sports are more important than people being able to afford food and housing.
Just to show how Canada 🇨🇦 is a broke country.
Sooo that would mean it’s temporary right?
Yep, by the time world’s cup comes to North America, no one will be coming to stay or watch! Taxes and inflation, are the biggest scam in the country!!
Weeee... taxes on people who could not care less about soccer.
Austerity for the working class socialism for the wealthy. defundthecbc
What a rip off. Guess hosting is a money losing proposition
I guess I won't be going to Vancouver, EVER.
Give the hotel business a break and enforce short term rentals regulations 👊
This sporting event causes so much air pollution. Canada should know better.
Are you even serious? This is brutal, beyond belief.
That's a joke 😐 .....
Any excuse to soak people with taxes
Why should tourists have to pay for an event that won't benefit the vast majority of them? Cost of hosting a few World Cup games is ridiculous.
Just cancelled my week long stay in Vancouver.
What if you don't give a crap about the FIFA world cup. Glad I don't go to Vancouver.
🤣🤣 Vancouver is awful
It's about time. Never been to an American city that doesn't do this, and that's on top of a state tax and a parking tax.
Admission fare at the airport next? SMH
What new taxes will municipal/provincial/federal governments come up with today?
An illegal tax. They can't expect people to pay for a sport that no one is really interested in.
Is FIFA more, or less corrupt than the IOC? I forget.
So people will still be allowed on planes in 2026
Quackscenes maim and murder Forced quackscenes is medical rape Millions have died, millions are suffering Trudeau needs to answer for his crimes Courts need to send him to jail People have had it If he dies on the streets it will be bad Turn yourself in Do the right thing
Sounds good..do it WhoPaysForSports
Lol
It's the norm. I just booked a hotel room in Vancouver just in time.
“B.C. approves 2.5% Vancouver accommodation tax to help city pay to host FIFA World Cup” Why is there no discussion of this in TO? Oh, that’s right. The anti-democratic JohnTory can just pass it on to property tax payers. He excels in that (if nothing else).
Haha, rip off
'Starting Feb. 1, booking a room in a Vancouver hotel or short-term rental will come with an additional 2.5 per cent tax to help offset costs of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.' Perhaps why frugal PierrePoilievre visited this past week, not next? If he's PM in '26 will he give them💰?
