Hi.  I'm assuming that $91 is in US dollars because $91CND+14% tax does
not equal to $98.50CND, instead it equals to $103.74CND.  $91US is about
$127.40CND.  Then on top of that, you have to pay GST (not sure about PST
since I'm a VAR/reseller..) for the CPU, Broker's fee (since it's over
$20) ~$15, PST/GST for the brokers fee and maybe gas+pst/gst if the
courier "feels" like it (FedEx).. about $5(?)+pst/gst.  So.. 
$127.40+GST=$136.31+(~$15+PST/GST)=$153.41+($5+PST/GST)=$159.11.  Oh, on
top of that, you have to pay shipping which is about
$20US->$28CND+tax=$31.92.  So, in total, the big $191.03. 

Someone check my calculations.. my calculator just died on me.  Hope this
helps.  Best to buy it locally than mail-order.  Most local stores will
match prices anyway..

NOTE: I don't work for ACCO or the company(ies) listed in these threads.
