Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the early stages of Canada's development, the country relied heavily on tariffs (taxes on imported goods) as a significant source of government revenue. This was particularly true in the late 19th and early 20th centuries when Canada was developing its industrial capacity and needed to protect its domestic industries from foreign competition. Income taxes, sales taxes, payroll taxes, and property taxes became more significant sources of revenue later on.
