I just ran the numbers through a tax calculator for my province (Quebec). It says that on a salary of $18,000, I would pay about $1,200 for the pension plan and employment insurance. $0 paid for taxes, and I would actually receive a $4,000 as a tax refund.

And, of course Healthcare is free, Quebec has pharmacare so prescription drugs would be free, childcare is about $10/day if I need it, and since my salary is less than $90,000/year, I would qualify for free dental care.

There would also be a few things like the GST refund that would be about $500/year in my pocket.

Canada is not paradise, but I sure prefer living here.

Les enfants étaient un peu traumatisés quand on est allé à LA cet été. Beaucoup de gens qui se parle tout seul ou qui font dodo dans le gazon.

Immediately identified the biggest problem with Canada right there.

It's an anti-French-Canadian joke I think.

That was my guess also. I'm just surprised the bigots are also here in some capacity.
