Talo, is that just what you pay to the company you work for towards your plan?

Everyone in Canada (except for students/children/people making less then ~$9k/yr) gets taxed income tax. There is a federal and a provincial tax that changes as your income increases. Most people pay ~30% of their income to this. This pays for all government things... roads/basic healthcare/police/fire/blahblah.
