Toyota was putting in a new factory: Ontario or Arizona were the finalists. They choice Ontario for two reasons:
1-Toyota didn't have to mess with Health Care...all of their employees would be in OHIP (Ontario Health Insurance Plan).
2-Ontario residents were more highly educated and trained than Arizona residents, because Ontario spent more money on education than Arizona did, so it would cost less for Toyota to get them up to speed.
Sweden federal income tax is 62%
Canadian federal income tax is 33% on income above $210,000CAD.

(If you hate paying the high deductible off the HSA plans just get DPMP and bite the bullet on premiums. It’s cheaper than European taxes)
