  1. Ottawa takes 29%, Edmonton 15%, then sales taxes on goods and service make it up to 60% total effective tax rate. On dollar adjusted basis and excluding any personal views on life quality, you would have a better income in the US delivering UPS packages.

  2. Keep delivering packages in the US until you slip and fall and have to go to the hospital. Alberta sales tax is 5% and health care is free + all the additional health care benefits.

    2. There are many other places on the internet to argue about the quality of Canadian health care. Additional comments along this line will be deleted.

  3. Hopefully they get some good leadership on the technical side. I received a tech transfer from them once that was, frankly, garbage. We pointed out obvious flaws and came up with solutions for them. They assured us it was fine for 100kg scale. Spoiler alert: It wasn’t.
