Who really pays the bulk of taxes in Canada—and is it sustainable?

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.The Hub is Canada’s fastest growing independent digital news outlet. Subscribe to The Hub’s podcast feed to get all our best content:https://tinyurl.com/3a7zpd7e (Apple)https://tinyurl.com/y8akmfn7 (Spotify)Watch a video version on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheHubCanadaFollow The Hub on X: https://x.com/thehubcanada?lang=en CREDITS:Amal Attar-Guzman - Producer and Video EditorRudyard Griffiths - HostGraeme Roy/The Canadian Press - Photo Credit Hosted on Acast.
