Keep in mind that the Canadian dollar, appropriately nicknamed the "looney", is only worth, what, 72 cents?
So compare your taxation of, say, $C100,000 to $US72,000.
The picture comes out just a little different I'll bet.

72 cents? I wish this pastel junk went that far on Ebay.

Right now it's 63.94 cents US.

The Canadian dollar ,in Canada, is worth 100 cents, the same as the US dollar in the US is worth 100 cents. The original post #66 comparing incomes in Calgary and Chicago is in local currency. Doesn't change the picture .
