The rate they quote for Canada (#11) includes both federal and provincial income tax.

On top of that you have to add sales tax on most purchases (around 13-15%), property taxes (around 1% of house value), various payroll taxes (another 1% up to a max of around can. $2,000 a year).

..but all our health care is FREE!

even then, you have many Hockey players who do not want to play for Canadian teams because of the higher tax bite.
