KLP, you are misinformed if you think that at least 52% !!! of a Canadian's income goes to Federal Taxes.

The top marginal federal tax rate on taxable income is 29% (on taxable income over $113,804). The provincial rate varies somewhat but in Ontario the top marginal provincial rate is 11.16% of taxable income over $66,752.

As far as health care I have friends and family who found themselves with "big and serious" medical problems. Not one of them was treated in the U.S. as they all received timely, effective care in Canada. The system can be improved but it has served me and my family well.
