211. Taxes in Canada Explained — Are Canadians Still Benefiting?
About this episode
Why do taxes come out before you even get paid? Chief Aaron Pete breaks down the real story behind income tax, GST, and carbon tax — where they came from, what they were meant to do, and whether the costs are still worth it. From the “temporary” wartime tax of 1917 to today’s carbon tax debates, he explores whether Canadians are truly benefiting from what they pay — or if trust in government has quietly eroded beyond repair.
