>Good pts. about Canadian GST. After all the BS that goes into collecting and accounting, the offshore consumer gets rebate. Stupid.< Actually, I think that this is appropriate. The taxes collected are paying for the services that Canadians use. So only residents pay the taxes for them. This is certainly more principled than (say) taxes on rental cars to pay for sports stadiums, by which the tax burden for some local goodie is actually imposed on outsiders.
