    Rumor has there is no 7% Goods & Services Tax on sandpaper that is used by hand or in hand held machines.I purchased $150 worth (life time supply) of industrial strength orbital paper from our wholesaler here at work, he never charged me the gst and said that was the law.

    I currently have 50 sheets of 80 grit on order at my local Beaver Lumber, sorry Home Hardware. I'll run this info by the owner, but I'd be surprised if I can convince him...

    I wish I knew the answer. I've paid GST on about a bushel of sanpaper this winter.

    I'll ask.

    Spent my summers as a kid (some 40 plus years ago) at Ipperwash, Pinery, and Grand Bend. Then in the 70's the water came up, the sand went out, and it was all over. On a sunny weekend, the beach was loaded with cars like Daytona was last time I was there.
    Early one morning I woke up to see a jeep running up and down the beach towing a water skier just offshore on a longline.
    The Canadian army had a training area at Ipperwash, and on weekends they'd truck the whole lot into Grand Bend. We wound up behind one such convoy and one poor cadet's hat blew off and landed on the hood of our car. We snatched it up and at the Bend the guy was allowed to fall out and I gave him his hat back. In the next few minutes my little brother said '..why is that soldier kissing the ground so many times?'

    a few years ago the natives took over the base and there was some tension, everyone stopped going to ipperwash. it's kinda nice this way. mostly deserted beaches and you can drive on the native area of kettlepoint but not north of there. we launch right off the beach.
