You can't go wrong shopping in Canada unless you live here. The US Dollar and the British Pound buy a lot of merchandise in Canadian $, then Americans and Europeans get all the tax we pay (15% here in Ontario) rebated on purchases they take home.

I wish we got the whole thing back - PST is not eligible for refund, except in those places where the whole thing is charged as a harmonized sales tax.
In Ontario, the amount eligible is only the GST. Still isn't a bad deal - unless you're not spending the required C$200.
