The Taxman's Unfair Shot at a Champion Coach The recent notice of appeal filed by former Toronto Raptors head coach Nick Nurse against the Ontario government is a stark reminder that even those who bring significant economic and social value to the province are not immune to its bureaucratic whims.
At stake is nearly $700,000 in foreign buyer tax paid on their multimillion dollar home, which they purchased in 2021. The case has all the makings of a David vs. Goliath battle.
On one side, we have Nurse and his wife, who have contributed significantly to Ontario's economy and reputation through their work with the Raptors.
