You guys are killing me...5-9% sales tax and no income tax??? WTH!

Ontario, Canada
8% sales tax on everything you buy
5% GS Tax on almost everything you buy (a few exceptions...i.e. children's clothes, food purchase under $4.00, etc.)

Income tax of 30% - 40% or better on every cent you make. That's right...30-40%.

Ordering a lens from the U.S. for shipping to Canada - add between 20-30% of cost to import into Canada.

Finally we are beginning to see prices of lenses on par with our US friends...as we should - our dollars are essentially equal now.
