How to keep more of a $110k salary
The single biggest lever at this income is the RRSP: a $10,000 contribution saves roughly $3,174 in tax in Ontario at this salary, because it comes off at your 33.9% marginal rate. After that: capture any employer match (an instant 100% return), fill your TFSA so growth is never taxed at all, and if you're paid by bonus, route it directly into the RRSP to skip withholding.
