[PUP] Canadian Taxes on boats staying in Canada

[John Marshall]

What is fascinating about this discussion on Canada is that there  
seems to be huge differences between what people actually report (as  
in Graham's case, which generally seems to match what I've read are  
the rules -- in official Canadian documents), and reports from  
conversations with custom's officials who say, basically, 'come on up  
for 12 months, and then leave our waters for part of a day and come  
back for another 12 months'.

I met a couple of fellows on the docks in Anacortes last summer who  
discouraged me from seeking winter moorage in Canada as they were  
getting 'hassled' by Canada customs guys. Message was that it was  
getting harder to pull it off. Presumably that's a similar issue to  
what Graham reports.

Anyone have an idea now to reconcile this gap in the information?
