  • Buying a laptop in Canada

    A Filapina friend of mine who is studying in Toronto to be a pharmacist wants to buy a new laptop. She wants to know if it's better to buy one in Canada or order one from the USA. Any thoughts/suggestions?

    a) Unbelievable!

    b) If she is currently in Canada and tries to purchase one from the US and have it shipped to her then she will end up paying through the nose to customs. She will have to pony up GST/PST as well as tariffs depending on the original country of manufacture. If she is currently in the US then she will be able to bring the computer with her without anybody being the wiser, as long as the computer has been unpackaged and set up.

      I'll tell her I can buy one in the US and bring it to her when I visit her. She's on vacation now.

          No, not Karen. She says she wants an Apple MacBook 13" although what she has now is an XP laptop. Will all of her XP software be useless on the MacBook?

              **** Canada Customs. I just alerted the RCMP and CSIS and my MP.

                We're on the same page.

                I don't give a **** about the laptop - it's the fact Mr. Slaughter is planning a visit. The man is dangerous.

                  Maybe we can get him extradited to the US. That will teach him.

                      This has nothing to do with NAFTA.
                      NAFTA doesn't mean **** isn't taxed. It means there's no tariffs for certain things.


                      ****, it's the same provincially for some things too. If I buy a car in Alberta and move to Ontario they'll demand I pay provincial sales tax on the vehicle.

                        Move to Toronto and you can pay a third time.

                          I bought my car in Ontario (Cambridge) and they still tried very, very hard to make me pay PST on it again when I moved back here again from Alberta.

                          Alberta, FWIW, did not ask I pay PST on the car. For obvious reasons.

                          They did make me take it to a certified mechanic for a safety inspection. You know how unreliable those 1 year old Japanese cars bought in Ontario are.

                            It's because they have driven 12 months on Ontario roads.

                              Maybe you can get Canada's JDL to protest. The protest worked to get George Galloway declared inadmissable under Canada's immigration act. Even Israel did not bar Galloway from their country. Ironically the JDL itself is considered a terrorist organization by the FBI.
