Above $74,600 of pensionable earnings, CPP2 kicks in at 4% up to $85,000. At $104,000 a year, that window opens around week 37 and closes around week 43.
Your marginal rate — the tax on your next dollar earned — is 29.6% (federal + Ontario combined) at this income, well above your effective (average) rate of 26.6% in Ontario. The marginal rate only applies to income inside your top bracket, not your whole salary, which is why a raise never actually costs you more than it pays.
$104,000 sits above at least one federal or provincial bracket threshold. Crossing a bracket boundary only raises the rate on the income above that line — income below it keeps being taxed at the lower rates — so effective tax rates rise more gradually than the bracket table alone suggests.
