Your statemnt is BS. No one has to wait for what they need. As in the Ralph Smith case only for what they think they need. Not what Doctors know you need.
Ontario has a 8% sales tax plus the Federal GST 7%. Alberta has no sales tax and if one takes the time one finds that in many cases combined US State and Federal income tax rates are higher than those combined Provincial and Federal taxes in Canada. Since 1996 US rates have gained and in many cases passed Canadian ones.We do not have City Income Taxes or as many user fees which are taxes by any name.
