So if you see a 19.99 price somewhere it really IS 19.99 and not 19.99 + some tax you never heard of...
I kinda prefer that over the way that the US and Canada does it.
What the heck do I care if something costs $500 if I actually have to be $550 since they got to add 10% onto it??

yeah, that was one of my biggest beefs when I moved to Canada.. you can't go to the grocery store and KNOW how much things will cost cos some things you have to pay GST on and some things you don't.. and then there's also PST on some things too!
made shopping even worse for me (and I HATE shopping to begin with)
