The US government's primary interests are probably in
the continuity of itself, just at Canada's government's
interests are probably in the continuity of itself, just as
it is also so every where else in the world. Secondary
interests would be in continuity of governments of
nations we are allied with, nations we rely on for imported
resources, etc. Just as Lawrence Walker's primary
interests ( and not I say primary, not sole ) are probably
in the interest of the continuity and survival of Lawrence
Walker and his family. It's the reality of the way things are.
Too bad you don't live in a country sandwiched somewhere
in between Iraq and Iran. Since you don't seem to like your
current neighboring country to the south too very much, maybe
you'd be happier with other neighbors instead?
> Oh Bennet, you flawed casualty of Republican wiles.
Lawrence, we just want decent paying jobs, a decent place to
live, medical care, etc. It's pretty easy for you bringing in your
retirement plus what you make on your eBay sales, in a country
that, yes, with perhaps a higher tax rate, ensures all it's
citizens get what medical care they need. Down here, at present
time, I have to work for it, and when you work for yourself, starting
out from scratch, you just about have to fight for it. Lawrence,
poverty kills.

Lawrence, now you go too far.

Wish I could have bought all they had, of just a few things.
But at the time, I really hardly had two nickels to rub together.
I hope you too don't end up in jail. Lawrence you are so "thrifty"
it seems you'd do just about anything to keep from having to
pay a cent you thought you could get out of.

I ship and receive goods all the time from here in Canada. Usually there is
no problem, except occasionally getting dinged on this end for GST (goods and
services tax). Since NAFTA (which I HATE generally), there is no duty on
electronics
to my knowledge. It is unecessary to disable the equipment nor does it
matter where
it was manufactured.
Would you disable a piece of equipment to get out of paying your GST?
Would you fraudulently claim on a customs document an item was a
gift instead of a purchase, or try to get a seller to put a fraudulent purchase
price down, to try to lower your import duties? There are people that do those
type of things. I sent some items up to Canada since NAFTA was enacted,
and the buyers did have to pay their PST/GST. Don't know why they would
and you wouldn't? You might want to check before you have trouble over that.
Lawrence, I fill out my paperwork correctly. I have a business license. I pay
what taxes I owe. I don't engage in any creative accounting practices. I refuse
to sell items to buyers I can't confirm the identity of. I won't provide
parts for
any application I have any doubt as to whether or not it is permitted by our
government. I don't drink and drive. I don't do drugs.
Lawrence, I've truly read some notable comments from you over the course
of time.
It'll probably be you in jail long before me.
Best Regards,
Bennett
