Lets start with property taxes:
A 2000 sq.ft home in Ottawa on a 50 x 100ft lot (approx) taxes are about $3,000 a year.
In Gatineau : $5,600 a year!
Difference? $50 a week
Income taxes:
Based on a Salary of $60,000
Ontario net per paycheck : $2,000
Gatineau net per paycheck : $1,600
Difference? $200 a week
So if you are a home owner with a $250,000 house and a $60,000 a year job, you WILL PAY about $13,000 more taxes PER YEAR than your conterpart living in Ottawa. Read that again - Gatineau taxes are THIRTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS more ...

Hi, interesting blog. I've seen some different numbers than you're quoting, maybe you could explain your sources. According to this tax calculator (http://lsminsurance.ca/calculators/canada/income-tax), the difference in tax for a 60k salary is $4000/yr (or ~80/wk).
Also, isn't the "welcome tax" just a land transfer tax that applies any time you sell your house in Quebec or Ontario? I don't know the numbers for Ontario or Quebec, but I'm pretty sure they both have them.
