Oh here is an interesting fact too....

according to the numbers, the effective TOTAL tax rate a Canadian corporation pays on it's profits?

28.8%.

A US Corporation?

46.7%.

The average US Business nearly pays half of it's profits to the government according to that.

I'm hoping that's not the "effective" rate.

Nope. The effective rate is much lower.  This is very likely due to tax breaks and structuring expenses to minimize tax.  An argument a free market/conservative would argue against targeted tax breaks is that it represents a form of centralized planning on the economy which gets in the way of a market naturally organizing itself in the most optimal way.
