I can remember the CEO of Nortel complaining about high tax rates in Canada while neglecting to mention that the salary for somebody like a product manager was 90k in Canada and 120k in the US, without even taking into account the exchange rate. Canadian companies seem to focus heavily on new grads with lower salary requirements.
