Well, the one thing that I noticed for sure. Rebuilding my boats, I could order parts from any one of the 3 WEST MARINE stores in B.C. and pay the GST AND Shipping and now it's cheaper to order from the main West Marine in the States and pay the Duty! Shipping is usually included in high $ purchases. It is no longer economically feasable to purchase online from out there.
Of course, when one is touring out there, it is expected to pay the PST/GST, but I also noticed a LOT of items that are now taxed that weren't before!!!
