Think you are unaffected by the tax grab in Ontario? Not so fast.


A recent letter from a reader in Alberta made what we thought was an outrageous claim. He said that, though he has lived in Alberta for the past 22 years, the Ontario College of Trades is threatening to take away his livelihood if he doesn’t pay them. Watch the video here.

Alberta electrician says Ontario College of Trades wants his cash, too
I paid the Ontario College of Trades for my ticket this year and it will be the last time. I am headed to Alberta to write and get a new licence
Alberta has a higher level of education in trades that makes Ontario tickets look like a joke…
The (Ontario College of Trades) letter gets a little threatening, saying that… if payment isn't received my name goes on (their) list as not certified. Who are these morons…

    Just amazing, the poor guy!!! Why is it I can never think of ways to make money doing nothing like the government can.
    While we do work in Ontario, as an electrical Contractor, we have to pay that plus, the renewal fee as an electrician. Then there is the masters licence renewal fee and contractors fee to ESA. Add on WSIB tax. Now, the next person to asks why the Electrical quote is higher is going to be soooo sorry!!!!
