OK, all good points about HST and Nafta, etc., but getting back to my original topic .... 
I've been searching eBay a lot the past couple of days looking for deals.
There are several, of course, and they're better than ever because our CDN dollar is almost at par with the U.S. and the UK Pound is ultra low. While I'm talking in general about how affordable US and UK items are, I'm really eyeing US/UK deals on eBay.
It's pretty neat -- quite a novelty really -- to be able to buy something from the US and not have to mentally add an extra 30-40% or buy things from the UK for only 1.5x the amount rather than double. I think this is especially good for British outline modelers such as myself.
