azimuthaviation from reading your posts I get the impression that your view of what a good Canadian is, is limited in scope.
Maybe I have taken the wrong impression but I get the feeling that I do not fit in your vision of a true Canadian and you feel I should go back to whatever country I used to work in?
Taxation? Bend over....

The hardest thing about flying is knowing when to say no
After over a half a century of flying no one ever died because of my decision not to fly.

Re: Taxation? Bend over....
What's really surprising is the difference in your taxes depending on your province. I had a bunch of deductible expenses on mine and just changing my province I'm filing for here's what my refund would be:
BC $1726
AB $1235
SK $682
MB $23
ON $1221
QC $1940
NB $555
NL $601
NS $166
PEI $134
YT $1360
NWT $2315
NU $2829
That's not even changing any claims to northern resident allowances which would probably be another $1000 or so. Just what is a guy in Manitoba paying an extra $1917 for that you don't get in Quebec?

Re: Taxation? Bend over....
We need more jets and jails!! 
Taxes will always go up up.
Our country is an embarassment. doens't matter if it's CONServative, LIEberal, or NDPee, we're gonna be robbed.
We are becoming a 2nd world country soon. Enjoy your $500,000 McMansion when it costs $1000/month just to heat, light, or cool it.
And $200 to fill your tank. At least we have water. Oh wait Harper sold our water rights to USA.

Increase text size Elections should be the time to discuss the big issues. That’s rarely how it works. True to form, the parties aren’t talking seriously in this election about health care, climate change or Canada’s role in two foreign wars.
Here’s another big one that probably won’t come up in Tuesday’s televised leaders debate: the decrepit state of Canada’s public infrastructure.
Consider Montreal’s Champlain Bridge, a 50-year-old landmark and a vital transportation link to the bustling South Shore and beyond. Ravaged by salt, it is literally falling into the St. Lawrence River, chunk by chunk. Engineers believe it might have, at best, 10 to 15 years of life left in it, and even the belated $212-million Ottawa has earmarked for repairs might not be enough to save the bridge.
If a major earthquake were to strike the city (and Montreal sits in an active quake zone), Canada’s busiest bridge likely wouldn’t last more than a few minutes. “This bridge can be expected to collapse, partially or altogether, in a significant seismic event,” engineers at Delcan noted matter-of-factly in a recent report. That’s not “might” or “could.” The experts are pretty much saying it will.
It’s hard to underplay the urgency. A replacement to the Champlain Bridge could take 15 years, or the outer lifespan of the existing bridge (cost: at least $1-billion). That’s just one city, and one bridge. Across Canada, key pieces of vital public infrastructure badly need fixing or replacing. There are roads and bridges, water and sewer plants, public transit networks, parks and ports.
Here’s a number to ponder: $123-billion. That’s what the Canadian Federation of Municipalities estimated it would cost, four years ago, to renew aging municipal infrastructure. Roughly 60 per cent of the money is needed for transportation, water and sewage treatment.
