You speak as if salaries in Montreal would reach the highest tax bracket.

"You speak as if salaries in Montreal would reach the highest tax bracket." Ha ha - you nailed it. I believe the 'extra 10%' kicks in at only 85K CDN. Which is not that much. It's like 65K USD.

Just ask yourself what were the consequences of the referendum, even if the separatists lost.

I do think some of their ideas (associated with separatists) make sense, but pushing for separatism has never helped the province.

And yes, the city of Montreal knows better than the rest of QC fortunately
