My numbers include only federal and provincial income taxes since you
claimed that a Canadian paid "$27,000 in income taxes" on earnings of
$60,000.
In Ontario the split is: $8,994 federal and $4,346 provincial.
You are only out by, oh, $13,660 or so.
It sure would be nice if whiny people would actually have a clue what
they are whining about.
