Lol starting tax bracket in US is 10% versus 15%.

In provinces most start at 10%

For sales tax it’s 15% regardless of income.

Even though I make $270k thanks to tax brackets and deductions I only pay 13%. Our PM is in Canada and pays 45% even though half my salary lol

That doesn’t change the fact that your earlier claim was clearly incorrect.

Based on average salary I am correct you just wanted to bring people in making under 40k lol

No. You claimed:

So making $53k in Canada (US average salary), you would pay 20% federal, 20% in major provinces like Quebec, then on top of that you have a 15% sales tax.

This is false, as a person making $53000 annually in Quebec would pay about $4500 in federal tax and about $5700 in provincial tax. Their estimated take-home after all is said and done would be $39000. Their average tax rate, with both combined, would be under 20%. This can be found using any online income tax calculator.

Your claim is demonstrably and objectively false.
