you stated something about blocking canadian IPS and that it wasn't sufficent- what about a disclaimer as well that says you cannot purchase if you are located in canada at the time of purchase?
with a seperate link for canadians and people who are located in caanda at time of purchase so you can have seperate tracking on them?

yes, we figured out a way to block all canadian subscribers based on their credit card mailing address. along with a disclaimer.
that's when they said that because an American/etc could be vacationing in Canada at the time they signed up, everyone MUST pay GST initially.
most (maybe all) accountants will tell you that you should be fine (ours did for many years). our current accountant is still blown away by what ended up happening. we had no idea the govt would take this position until the audit - and at that point we got the tax lawyers involved. ugly.
edited to again emphasize that this is from the position of a paysite owner ONLY. regardless, talk to a tax lawyer if you are concerned...
