Purchasing a quad from the states

[doorfx]

That statement is just weak on so many levels I don't even know where to begin. Lost tax revenue because of not buying in Canada are you phuqqin kidding me? Whenever you bring something back over the border you end up having to pay the GST anyway so your statement makes absolutely no sense. For example if you purchase a unit worth $10,000 you end up paying $500 in GST, well I don't know what world you live in but in mine five hun doesn't go very far, as far as education, health care, blah blah blah. The last time I checked the ch!t kicking my pay cheque takes at the end of every month helps to pay for all the gov't expenses you mention. The fact of the matter is you bring the item over the border you pay the feds anyway so I'm a little lost as to what your argument even is. In my opinion to buy smaller ticket items like sleds and quads I probably couldn't be bothered to head down south to make the purchase, but for bigger ticket items like boats, rv's, classic and exotic cars I definetly think the time and effort is worth it.

LOL will someone please READ the post!!!!lost revenue is the taxable difference between a $15,000 purchase(canada) and a $10,000 purchase(usa)both being taxed equally at 5% GST or even worse HST. Your 500 might seem like a drop in the bucket but when you multiply it by $50,000 people .....
It adds up.But then i forgot...we live in a me , me , me society. so now it would appear that your post makes no phugging sense LOL J/K
