i wonder with NHL free agency...high taxation may drive many NHLer free agents to the US and away from canada since some canadian cities have higher tax rates.....(montreal has higher tax rate)
and also many canadian hockey fans may stop buying tickets when they find out their disposable income is being eaten away by these same high taxes...
having to paying out higher taxes in canada may not be good for cities like edmonton, calgary, and quebec..... where those cities are seeking public funds to pay new arenas....it will cause anger among canadian taxpayers if they see their taxes going both into the government's and hockey owners' pockets....

Virtually all workers in this country will take home less of their paycheque next year, according to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation’s latest calculations.
The CTF’s annual projections found Canadians at a variety of income levels and in various family situations will fork over on average 2% more of their earnings to the government starting Jan. 1. That will amount to at hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars less in your wallet next year.
“Nearly every working Canadian will be paying more in income and payroll taxes in 2011,” said Derek Fildebrandt, CTF national research director.
