Even if the company was operating out of Quebec, you would have to charge GST and QST to your Canadian members ONLY.
If your $75/month accountant is making you pay GST and QST to non Canadian sales, I suggest you look into. You could of paid a shit load of cash for nothing.

Better, get your accountant to give you an opinion: you will see.
This document is a revised one from July 2001, so nothing new.
BTW, my US accountant takes care of my US corp, operating a US site located on a US server, charging in US dollars. The only thing I don't do is wave the flag....
I have a canadian accountant for my local sell-thru operations.
