Hey Eric I'd much rather put money into my own countries economy then a foreign one such as the states even if it means spending a bit more money. That's why I barely ever cross border shop, id much rather buy fishing equipment in my own country

i try to shop at local tackle shops as much as possible, tightlines and gagnons are on the way. but i also think sail has better prices and is more suited to my steelhead and salmon needs. the staff are very knowledgable and friendly, most of the time when i go in there i end up talking fish stories for an hour. also it seems they have a 15% off or save the taxes sale every 4-6 weeks, thats when i make most of my big equipment purchases.
they are canadian, always a plus.

I think BPS staff are more enthusiastic than the Sail staff. Bought a Sahara reel yesterday at Sail because of the sale but found it hard to find staff. The ones I saw were on their phones or looking bored trying to kill time till the end of their shift. If it wasn't for the sale I would have bought from BPS or Lebaron they are both cheaper and friendlier.

when you buy the items here. majority arent made here. like your fishing rods. (i havent seen a made in canada rod yet)
the money leaves canada anyways (to us china japan), the only money that stays is the HST tax you pay.
so if your going to be paying tax anyways, you might as well import better items thats not locally available, pay the tax and support your government.
since the money is going to leave canada, anyways in the end. it makes no difference.

If ur buying from a local business, it will obviously keep it running, if nobody's buying from the business it is obviously going to shut down. When the people lose their jobs it will ultimate affect the economy negatively. So yes it does make a difference to buy in Canada.
