Id say giving 68k in taxes on an average Cdn family income of 158k is taxed to death, wouldn't you?
Fraser Institute is a conservative Canadian org. They cheat on their taxes and don't pay them because they're "a charity" and think no one else should pay taxes. Of course they fudge numbers like this and find extremes.
If you do the actual math on your personal taxes, unless you are somehow extra ordinary, you'll find overall you're being taxed in the neighbourhood of 30%.
