Ottawa has seen much debate over the past few years resulting in the understanding that we need some form of rapid transit rather than simply buses and bus roads.  The new Light Rail plans could help bring Ottawa into a new era.   To date we have just had the O-Train opened within the last couple of years, which sort of runs north-south through the city on an old track as a test site which is really taking people from nowhere to nowhere.

ONTARIO EXPANDS LAND TRANSFER TAX REFUND PROGRAM 
First-time buyers of resale homes to benefit from new tax measure 
The McGuinty government is giving all first-time homebuyers a break on land transfer tax by proposing to expand the Land Transfer Tax Refund Program to include purchases of resale homes, Finance Minister Dwight Duncan announced today.
"Expanding this Land Transfer Tax refund is an important part of our government's commitment to helping Ontarians buying their first home," Duncan said.
Effective midnight tonight, first-time buyers of resale homes, as well as newly constructed homes, would be eligible for a refund from the provincial government of up to $2,000 of the Land Transfer Tax paid.
The expanded Land Transfer Tax Refund Program for First-time Homebuyers is part of a package of new tax initiatives announced in the 2007 Fall Economic Outlook and Fiscal Review that would provide $1.4 billion in provincial tax relief for business and people over three years.
The government is making strategic investments in people, communities and infrastructure to strengthen Ontario's economic advantage and help manufacturers and other sectors challenged by current economic conditions.
