Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss a new Fraser Institute report showing that high-income earners shoulder a disproportionate share of Canada's tax burden. They examine what this means for a country where public support for expanded government services is increasing. They also discuss Canada's heavy reliance on income taxes compared to the consumption-based tax models used in Scandinavian countries, and whether tax reform could help address economic stagnation and stem the loss of high earners to lower-tax jurisdictions such as the United States.
