And perversely, should a Canadian wish to be that highest bidder to retain this history in Canada, they will be penalised with additional taxes that presumably a foreigner is not required to pay.

Oh yes, the foreigner will have to pay taxes and import duties.

You know what they say: there are only 2 things certain in life - death and taxes....

There are no taxes on used items coming into Canada.

But there are taxes if it's in Canada, as these are. While the auctioneers are overseas, the medals are still here. Furthermore, to be removed their export has to be approved by the cultural exports act. As such, the auction house has indicated it will not accept payment until the export is approved.

If past history is any indication, the CWM will be 'opening the financial purse strings' of the nation in order to add this medal set to their collection.

....and less wealthy museums will be opening the debate about whether medals should be available to the highest bidder.

No taxes on "used" items coming into Canada? I beg to differ...I have imported several "used" tanks and paid taxes on all of them...as well as any associated used parts...there is no shortage of tax on used items coming into Canada...I don't see why these medals would be any different...
