I feel like a lot of people don't understand that North American taxes are marginal and not flat.
The shocking part is that not everybody already knew this. Quebec taxes are so freakin' high. I'm saving thousands in taxes since I moved to Ottawa along with getting better services.
New argument to eliminate public health care and raise university tuition to ~$50, 000/year: It will be easier for the Habs to bring in players like Ryan Smythe and Brad Richards.
Vote for the CAQ.

Aside from the fact that I'm a student, I'm glad I chose Ottawa over Montreal, though I hope I can get my grades up to do a masters at McGill.

Our stars are paying 50% income tax.

Want to live in one of the safest, cleanest, most cultural cities in the world? A city that loves hockey and loves life?
Come on this is a joke.
In Ontario that tax rate is over $220,000 49.53%
While is the massively over tax province of Quebec its over $136,270 49.97%
Now the biggest difference is the lower levels.
first $41,495 28.53% Quebec
first $40,120 20.05% Ontario
Much as I love Montréal I wouldn't move back.
Exactly, the article is sensational. They didn't take into account the tax bracket. People in that bracket are taxed similarly everywhere they go in North America, other than the states mentioned that have no state income tax (Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington and Wyoming).
And the state income tax does not shave millions, it shaves hundreds of thousands.
Also, the article doesn't talk about endorsements, which I'm sure comes up in negotiations. What would PK's endorsements be in Florida? We might not even know his name.
And if it were just about taxes, Florida would have a kickass team.
I saw another guy posted (a bit off topic), that the cap should be based on take-home pay.
Something I'm grappling with as we speak. I'll always be a Montrealer though.Much as I love Montréal I wouldn't move back.
Now I haven't seen every city in the world but Montreal is really, really clean compared to a lot of 'em. My friends and folks who've been to the far east would say that Singapore is a very clean city as well but having spent time in a lot of cities I can safely declare montreal a very clean town as far as I could tell.wat.
You can always move to Toronto. Good economy, lots of jobs, nice neighbourhoods. Not quite as exciting as Montreal though...Something I'm grappling with as we speak. I'll always be a Montrealer though.
