he doesn't get a rebate of it, he has to submit that gst as if he had collected it from the customer himself

Doesn't affect affiliates. If you sign up to promote a US sponsor and make sales for them, you don't have to collect GST on your earnings from them.
This basically affects people with their own pay sites, charging money to people joining their site that is operated from Canada.
(However, I have heard that if you are earning money from an affiliate program based in Canada, then technically you should be collecting GST from them when you receive your affiliate check.)
