The city is today an important centre of commerce, finance, industry, technology, culture, and world affairs.Canada is in Northern North America, bordering the North Atlantic Ocean on the east, North Pacific Ocean on the west, and the Arctic Ocean on the north, north of the USA. The climate varies from temperate in the south to subarctic and arctic in the north.The official languages are English and French. All government documents and information services are available in both. English remains the dominant language in every province except Québec. There is also a sizeable francophone community in New Brunswick, which is the country's sole officially bilingual province. Canadian French is different from European French, but they are mutually intelligible. Given Canada's multicultural population, many other languages are spoken in the major cities, especially Arabic, Chinese, Hindi, Japanese, Russian, Polish, Portuguese and Spanish. The main religion is Christianity.The economy of Canada is one of the world's wealthiest, with a high per-capita income, and it is a member of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the G8. It is one of the world's top ten trading nations.Business is conducted in a similar way to that of the US, UK and Australia. Canadians will generally invite you to call them by their first names.

In addition to Federal income tax, an individual who resides in, or has earned income in, any Province or Territory is also subject to Provincial or Territorial income tax. For Xpatulator Hypothetical Tax purposes we have used an average Provincial / Territorial income tax rate of 16.9%. The combined maximum progressive Xpatulator Hypothetical Tax rate is therefore 49.9% based on Federal (33%) + Provincial / Territorial Taxes (16.9%).
