The immigration policies of the government of the Dominion of Canada, to start with.

It's a separate country - they get to make their own laws, you know.

Right - be my guest. Go ahead and "setup shop". Might want to start by taking care of PST & GST registration.

Government of the corporations, by the corporations and for the corporations.

The solution is to down size government and to get rid of Obama and any politician that believes raising taxes is the solution.

Thats for sales inside the country..

You avoiding the discussion on purpose, or dont you comprehend it?

Whats to stop someone from setting up shop in another country, and shipping it here?

Why would those companies be exempt, but those here not be? I compete against sellers from all over the world, one of my biggest competitors happens to be in Hong Kong..

So if I have to now add fees, on top of percentages to my items, and these other people dont, wouldnt this result in more jobs being offshored?

The current law is that consumers pay the tax, which would be true regardless of who the seller is, and because you arent enforcing the current law, you are going to punish us sellers?

I agree. Many online business owners are very flexible where they can operate and live.

You've long since demonstrated the very fixed limits of your intellectual powers, so I'm not at all surprised you've failed again to grasp an elementary point: if you think it's difficult to operate a business here (something you claim to do, and I can only hope whatever it is you peddle requires a very low level of literacy), it's considerably more complicated to open and operate a business in Canada.

Yes, I'll just raise my staff and all those tax-sinners will repent. You presume I have too much influence.
