Well, it's nice to see a little more parity between US and CDN taxes for a change!! We're so used to seeing you guys pay half (or less) what we do in income taxes, sales taxes, etc. We pay about $3800/year on a 2100 sq. ft. house, fully urban area, nice clean safe (and boring!) suburb where cracks in the sidewalk get fixed fast, about 45 min. outside downtown Toronto. I don't feel so raped now!
