The seriously fucked up part is there is a larger Canadian program (who I won't name) who DID go through the audit a few years ago and had to pay (my understanding at least) a LARGE chunk of change even though they were given contradicting advice by GST employees. They had to pay GST (again, my understanding) on ALL sales because they couldn't prove the purchases weren't made by Canadians. The government couldn't prove they WERE Canadians, but when it comes to tax dollars, the burden clearly falls on the taxpayer.
If you want to fuck the Canadian taxman, do it on your income because the GST people don't fuck around.
