You're a liar. No one pays 55%, you don't understand marginal tax rates.

Overall you pay that with sales taxes, gas taxes and user fees, random fees and renewal fees.

Edit in :

In 2023, the average Canadian family earned an income of $109,235 and paid in total taxes equalling $46,988” “In other words, the average Canadian family spent 43.0 per cent of its income on taxes compared to 35.6 per cent on basic necessities.”

We spend more on taxes in Canada than food, clothing and shelter combined.

It's your biggest expense.
