They examine what this means for a country where public support for expanded government services is increasing. They also discuss Canada's heavy reliance on income taxes compared to the consumption-based tax models used in Scandinavian countries, and whether tax reform could help address economic stagnation and stem the loss of high earners to lower-tax jurisdictions such as the United States.</p><p><br></p><p>The Hub is Canada’s fastest growing independent digital news outlet.</p><p><br></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Subscribe to The Hub’s podcast feed to get all our best content:</p><p><br></p><p>https://tinyurl.com/3a7zpd7e (Apple)</p><p><br></p><p>https://tinyurl.com/y8akmfn7 (Spotify)</p><p><br></p><p>Watch a video version on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheHubCanada</p><p><br></p><p>Follow The Hub on X: https://x.com/thehubcanada?lang=en</p><p><br></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>CREDITS:</p><p><br></p><p>Amal Attar-Guzman - Producer and Video Editor</p><p><br></p><p>Rudyard Griffiths - Host</p><p><br></p><p>Graeme Roy/The Canadian Press - Photo Credit </p>","author_name":"Hub Canada Media"}
