Roman Habtu
The rapid growth of the information, communication and technology industry in the 1990s created a surge in demand for people skilled in computer specialties. As demand grew, so did supply. The 2001 Census collected the first information about these new occupations.
Property taxes
Raj K. Chawla and Ted Wannell
Property tax is one of the three main
taxes paid by households. It is levied on a property’s
market or assessed value and is not directly related to
the ability to pay. The burden of the tax varies by province
and household income. Property taxes increase family income
inequality.
