US vs Canadian truck drivers

Hi NMM

Would it be OK to ask you what kind of taxes OOs pay in Canada?
Do you guys need to deal with a forced despatch when leased to a company you are leased to?
As an OO leased to a certain company, are you allowed to move loads supplied by other haulage companies or private businesses or it is forbidden in your contract?
Are you being paid % or a set rate per mile?
I’ve just read an OTR driver can claim a meal allowance of Cad 17 every four hours from the time he starts his shift, is that true and is this being somehow reimbursed at the end of financial year by the tax man?
What are the costs of hotels around truck stops, I’ve noticed some drivers, OOs stay in hotels rather than their trucks, is that expensive?

A lot of questions again, but I thought since this board is so quiet, someone might be willing to have a go at some of them.
