- Rebel neighbors in McKillop, Sasketchewan, have organized to refuse to pay property taxes after they were nearly doubled by their Rural Municipality council. “None of us really cared before,” one of the resisters said. “We just shut up and paid our taxes. But something like this is bringing us together.”
