Actually the federal tax includes the provincial taxes(except Quebec), 
which are turned over to the provinces. The federal gov't only acts as 
collector.  Quebec chooses to collect its own prov tax-vive la 
difference.  A few years ago there was a comparison of total taxes 
between NY and Ontario by a national magazine.  It showed that the 
Ontario taxes were lower.  Studies have shown when total taxes are 
compared there was only about 10% difference between the two countries. 
For example, higher federal taxes but considerably lower school taxes. 
Just to be kind to you, the survey showed that Texas had lower overall 
taxes than Canada and NY state.
