Ok, maybe not quite that simple, but it does seem that Canadian income taxes are much simpler than their US counterpart. I don't know anyone who spends more than half an hour doing their income taxes once they've got all of the necessary forms together, and for 99% of people, "get all the necessary forms together" just means "look in your mailbox every day until the end of February".
