There is a Federal 8% GST ( grab and screw tax) that replaced a 13% manufacturing tax but was applied to more products , including services but not all products or services. There is a provincial sales tax that varries from province to province. Ontario has a 7% tax, Alberta none.

Where I live it costs $37.50 to plate a car for a year, in Southern Ontario $75.00. Again ,I would think States would varry as would Provinces. There are no health premiums in Ontario, they are paid with a 3% payroll tax by the employer. We have one short toll road in Toronto and a 14.7 cent per litre tax on fuel. The Feds have a hidden 10 cent tax/litre and then charge the GST on top. Cities can not charge income tax.

The perception here is that Canadians are much higher taxed than we are and have significantly more government. If this is not true, that is good news. Regardless we would all be much richer, happier people with less government and taxes. Keep fighting.
