Canada is often seen as the epitome of a high-welfare, high-taxation country. While this model helps narrow the gap between the richest and the poorest—ultimately benefiting society as a whole—it may also undermine long-term economic development. High taxes can discourage talented individuals from starting businesses or running startups. Even worse, such a system may unintentionally encourage people to rely excessively on social benefits rather than contributing to the economy.
