Well I get some back but only because of contributing to RRSPs. I read an article that said Canadians pay more for taxes than we do for necessities - almost 50% of what we make goes straight for taxes.
Since I read that article a couple of weeks ago, we got nailed with the new recycling fee of $8 per month, they raised property taxes 4%, and even with the major surpluses in Alberta if you smoke you get hit yet again. All this plus transit going on strike next week.
It is sickening what we are forced to pay out in our so-called rich country.
