10% is meant as shock value. The increase has been limited to 5% this year, and I can't see any council proposing 10% in the future in all honesty.
That said, the way you increase revenue is through approving more dense development. Tax rates can remain flat as you grow the tax base to pay for increases.

Agreed and agreed. And... Abso-freaky-lutely. Moving away from Edmonton was a god-send due to their infrastructure upkeep going through the roof from sprawl and low density.
I just put that note in there because while when an article say "10%!" the overall context is missing, always.
