Ep.271: Tax the Rich? Canada's Top Earners Already Pay More Than You Think

Do high-income Canadians actually pay their fair share of taxes?

It is one of the most emotionally charged arguments in Canadian politics. But before Canadians decide who should pay more, we need to understand who is already paying what.

In this episode, Darren and Christina examine Canada's progressive tax system, including new data showing that the top 20% of income-earning families pay 65.3% of the country's personal income taxes. They also explore what happens when higher tax rates influence investment, entrepreneurship, hiring and the movement of capital and skilled professionals.
