It would be helpful to know who else lives in the Great White North, certainly make buying/selling/trading gear a little easier without worrying about our good friends at Canadian customs trying to take more hard earned money from us. I'm in Montreal, email addy is jefflo@istar.ca

Angela, perhaps it would be better if we only included 60%-70% of our monikers and 60%-70% of our opinions in order to reflect the real value of our dollar. That would mean we would call you either Angel or Ange, depending on the commodities market values. Let us know which you prefer. --Lorne.
Rob in Vancouver. I always seemed to have something Canadian eh! in my equipment rack. Dayton Wright (OK, some years ago), Classe, Magnum D, Foundation Research, Rix Rax speaker stands. Same with source material - I have a lot of the vinyl Bruce Cockburn, Joni, Neil, Ian Tyson and Rough Trade issued. And I still search the bins for Stony Plain and True North (Eugene Martynec).

Who's bought equipment stateside and driven it cross border? Think of a 100lb amp, not a MC cartridge. Creative bills of sale aside, are duty and excise payable or is PST/GST all that's due on US made electronics? Any gotchas or tricks of trade you can share?
