$367 fucking dollars I paid to the Canadian government
to bring the MD into the wonderful country.

Ouch alright !
So you were charged TPS + provencial tax  (which
province ?) AND import charges (around 100$ i guess).

Man, this makes this purchase even harder to justified.
The Can$ is getting better these days, it was ridicously low
for the past 3 years  so i'll wait a few
more weeks to see if it gets stronger.

Thanks again,

Simon

In Canada,  we are charges two taxes (around 15%)
in most province on almost all imported products.
Plus, the customs charge a Right Fee (6-7%) on
almost every package now.
AND, the CAn$ ain't worth a dollar
anymore ;)

Since they stopped using DHL and switched fed ex the import charges are a 
bitch.  I sent my MD back for the output repair after owning it for 1 year 
and fed ex are still sending me bills even after i faxed them my original 
reciept.  bastards.
MD duty is $64, sid is $34.  I wonder how much the monomachine duty will be??

ELEKTRON IF YOU CAN HEAR US SORT THIS OUT!!!!!
For $367 we can apply for swedish visas and move there.

Well, i need a car first. Then you have to pay for gas.
There is hours of waiting at the border since 9-11. Plus,
i have to declare it at the border, so i will be charged
for import taxes on the spot.

You're on the WWW, not in your backyard having a beer.

Moving to Sweden sounds like a good idea to me at this point.  Who 
wants to join me outside Elektron's offices to form a waiting line for 
the Monomachine? :)  We could bring our sidstations and MDs and hang a 
sign that says "Will breakbeat for food"
