The...Boy, you're as stupid as most lefties are. These owners have already paid plenty of tax on their boats. However, I'm sure you probably don't know much about that. I'll bet you dont pay much tax yourself. But saying that is as stupid as you assuming all boat owner's are rich. There are lots of people that own boats that aren't rich... I have two boats but I paid less for both of them than what my girlfriend paid for her car. The ignorance and stupidly out in lefty land always amazes me.

I am one of those who have had my boat stored for years in Nova Scotia, paying 15% HST on my yard bills ( and actually glad to do it since this is a rational way to pay for your universal health coverage, which I hope we will get one of these years). But the prospect of having to pay an import duty IN ADDITION is just too much! With great regret, we will be sailing back to the US this summer. Your comments on the luxury tax are absolutely correct. In Florida alone, about 65,000 jobs were lost and the tax generated no revenue. I suspect the same will happen in Canada, but there is no reasoning with bureaucrats and politicians.Jeff Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07166440289398857809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6249084827399814906.post-37034382246839169332014-02-08T09:10:01.213-08:002014-02-08T09:10:01.213-08:00well, anonymous, when the Americans introduced a l...well, anonymous, when the Americans introduced a luxury tax, it didn't affect the 1%. They just went somewhere else. It mightily affected the poor schmucks in service industries. It nearly destroyed the American Yacht Industry. In this case, the 1% will just move their boats and the casualties will be the guys working in the boatyard, one of the few decent occupations in those partsPeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08307939515843586844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6249084827399814906.post-26737556976112749312014-01-01T22:15:08.298-08:002014-01-01T22:15:08.298-08:00Sorry to hear that all those expensive yacht owner...Sorry to hear that all those expensive yacht owners have to pay taxes in Canada but form what I saw at those plush marinas around Cape Breton and Baddeck they can well afford to pay their share of government cost as most of them are members of the 1% but I guess some are obsessed with that great American disease called Greed.
