As an academic, I do not work for the government; I work for a university. And it is none of anyone's fucking business what my salary is, least of all some idiots that get bent out of shape from the depths of their ignorance as they eat their tim hortons with a Toronto Sun paper.
And I pay a huge amount in taxes (I am in the top tax bracket), despite my lingering student debt (14 years after graduating with my PhD).

For some of those administrators, you can point to the sunshine list to say that public sector administrators are delivering fantastic value for their salaries compared to their private sector equivalents. You're right: someone running a hospital is operating at a level of responsibility equivalent to the CEO of a large company with hundreds of employees. All that for a few hundred thousand dollars? We're getting a bargain, as provincial taxpayers.
I don't want to offend, but you complaining about idiots complaining over their Tim Horton's and Toronto Sun, and then commenting on the amount of tax you pay, is kind of rich. It knocks me out when people complain about being in the top tax bracket- there are some good reasons why we have progressive income taxation. Not many people who complain about being in a higher bracket would give their last raise back.
