Looking through Canada's culture section on wikipedia, it's described as having:
Government policies such as publicly funded health care, higher taxation to redistribute wealth, the outlawing of capital punishment, strong efforts to eliminate poverty...
However, looking into taxation in Canada their income tax of 31.6% (if single with no children) and their corporation tax seems fairly lower then, for example, the higher rate of tax in the UK (45%).
Why is Canada regarded to have policy in high taxation to redistribute wealth when their taxation actually appears to be fairly low?
