Best Answer

In 1917, the cost of participating in World War I had become too great, and the government was forced to temporarily adopt an income tax system in order to finance the war effort. What was going to be a temporary measure is now the largest form of income available to the Canadian government. Sir Thomas White, Minister of Finance, was the man who proposed the "war" income tax.
