Im registered as a NON-Resident, but this does not seem to make much differance.
Yes, but you were a resident when you contributed to this TAX DEFERRAL program. In other words, you didn't pay tax you would otherwise have had to pay when you contributed. If you're so upset about the 25%, why not go back and pay at the rate you were at when you used the deferral program? (It was at 59.9% for me, so 25% is a bar-goon.)
Sorry to non-Canucks reading this, but it's typical of Canadians to brag about the great social safety net, national medical care etc, but then whine about paying any tax. I'm afraid I'm guilty of this too...
