Canadian income tax rates: [0]. Lowest tax rate for Ontario is about 19%(federal + provincial). For Quebec it is about 28% (!!!)

For WA state - we only pay federal tax so the comparable tax rate is 12% [1].

These rates mirror my perception when I lived in Montreal, Toronto, WA state.

Then you’re paying higher consumption taxes and property taxes, and higher prices on business costs passed on to you. Do I even have to explain this? Just because you can’t see the ball anymore doesn’t mean it stopped existing

I guess you have not lived in Canada... In Canada consumption taxes is for both federal and provincial (and city) governments. In US there is no federal consumption tax.

(I think it is you who needs explaining not me....)
