There are a lot of inaccuracies in the article you referenced. For example , there are no taxes on groceries/food and each province can have different rates of sales tax. Alberta has none, PEI taxes 10%. All pay the Federal GST of 5%. As for income taxes ,keeping it simple , there is a base deduction of $10,800 , for 2013,

15% on the first $42,707 of taxable income

22% on the next $42,707 of taxable income (on the portion of taxable income between $42,707 and $85,414)

26%on the next $85,414 of taxable income (on the portion of taxable income between $85,414 and $132,406)

29% of taxable income over $132,406

I'm sure there are. Are you suggesting that the Canadian tax system is less confiscatory than the U.S.?

How about property taxes? How do they compare?

And what exactly is " PEI taxes 10%"?
