Nice. Bring politics into it. Exaggerative politics.
My point is merely that the tax rates are what they are. We already pay PST/GST/HST and products we buy in Canada that are dutiable already have duty in them. If I import enough stuff that I have to pay some tax, am I happy? No, but I pay anyway.
I import a lot of stuff in my travels. I doubt I have spent $100 in taxes and duty yet. Compared to the cost of the travel, the taxes and duty have been absolutely insignificant. I spend more money to call home.
