maybe there is an actual friendly person on here who will answer my question

a 5cents item is taxed.

I don't know, being from England, but they shouldn't!

Without waffling on, the 'government' take enough of people's hard-earned money as it is.

Think you'll find it is, probably.

Peace.

Don'T worry they find ways to get more every month!

I do not know the answer to your question since I am not from Canada.

However I am surprised that you do not think that there are friendly people on this thread.

There are many friendly and kind people on GLP.

I am sorry that this has been your experience, so I apologize for the rest of us that have made you feel this way.

That goes for me, too. I joined this forum so that people can air their views, in a democratic way, without overstepping the line. Once people become aware of me, they may, or may not choose, to find my views to their liking.

That's okay with me. I will never insult someone's country, beliefs, or them personally. i just find that this kind of arena is EXACTLY the kind of medium that ALL free-thinking and inquisitive people should be utilizing.

I know you only wanted to know about taxation of goods, but hopefully, you can expand your horizons beyond that.

I know I have.

Peace.

Sorry, I didn't join SO that people can air their views; people were doing very nicely in that department, LONG before I joined, thank you.

Just needed to clarify that!

Peace.
