Do you have a sampling of your tax brackets? Just curious what you're currently paying in vs. what you're able to make.
Now, how would that compare? It wouldn't...you'd need to show pre- and post- Canadian HC figures for taxation. And I have no idea when Canada went to the National/Provincial HC System... (Each Providence has its own system, or is a National System?)
