The Canadian Constitution, section 91, says the federal government can raise money "by any mode or system of taxation". Section 92 says the provinces can impose "direct taxes within a province" to raise revenue for provincial purposes.
As a result, while federal and provincial taxing powers overlap, the federal government can levy both indirect and direct taxes, including income tax. So you have to pay taxes in Canada.
