Your Biggest Expense Isn't Rent, Gas, or Groceries

Your Biggest Expense Isn't Rent, Gas, or Groceries

Your tax bill outweighs every other expense Canadians complain about, and new research backs that up. Shane and Ryan break down why the conversation around cost of living keeps missing the actual number one line item.

Ryan expected a return this year. Instead he had to pay money back, and it changed how he thinks about what his taxes should be covering. He names the one piece of healthcare he wishes was actually included.

Shane pushes the conversation further with a simple reframe: it isn't the government's money being spent, it's Canadians' money. He walks through what that shift in language changes about how citizens should be judging value for what they pay.

Topics: tax bill, cost of living, vision care, doctor access, government spending
