I feel as if I pay tax on every dollar like 5 times in Canada. Every service we get from the government has a tax. I just shipped something through Canada Post and they are charging me for the gas use to ship the item. WTF, was I paying for in the first place? not shipping?

It wasn't so bad when I was a kid and I was only charged the purchase tax on things, but now that I'm older I honestly don't see any end to it. I may not be a "slave," but I certainly can only afford to keep working to no end and I'll have zero opportunity to buy a house or what not to boot.

I'm a Second Generation Canadian, I live in Vancouver, work in IT, and will not inherit any $ from family. Game over.

Where I live, people in my situation end up living on what ever pension the government gives the, and those people are now out on the street as retired and newly bums.

Rent here, which is pretty much just paying someones mortgage on a property they can't afford and never should have bought, is ridiculous.
