Canada does not have the extremes of wealth or poverty that the US has and higher social mobility. On the Gini index we are much closer to Sweden than the US. 

Problem is we have a left wing government that can't grow the economy. Our 1% who pay most of the taxes have an income level one third their US counterparts. That means the pool of taxable income is two third smaller then the US. 

Trudeau is effectively running a Ponzi scheme.
