OMG.  I live in Vancouver and I don't consume Chinese media.  Local gweilo media, like Vancouver Sun or Province, is bad enough already.  The Chinese media is even worst.

有兒童須扶養的家庭的每月醫保稅(MSP tax)將見由121元上升至128元，全年下來須多繳84元。尤有甚者，聯邦就業保險金(EI)及加拿大退休金計劃(CPP)的供款會將增加306元，其中約142元須由僱員負擔。

MSP = Medical Service Plan, EI = Employment Insurance and CPP = Canadian Pension Plan.  They are all insurance and NOT taxes for sure.  The increases on insurance premium.  The provincial and federal are also acting as insurance company.  The money goes to a different pot and separated from tax revenue.

Before Canadian complaint about medical insurance premium, they should check the rate in the US.
