[Antithesis]

I couldn't find another thread where my question would fit so I just went with a new topic.

This summer my wife and I will be travelling to New York for our vacation but it will be a little unique, I guess ... we will fly Calgary-New York and stay there for about 4 nights, then up to Toronto from New York to visit relatives for about 4 nights, then back to New York from Toronto for another 3 nights, then home.

My question is, how do we deal with customs claims on the items we will purchase in New York the first time? Will they 'officially' become ours upon our first border crossing into Toronto, or will we have to declare them again when we re-cross the border on our way home to Calgary?

I'm a 'keep-my-receipts' guy, so I'd like to keep things on the up-and-up ... I know I can just take the tags off, etc, etc, but it's not a viable option for me.

Any advice that you all have for me will be appreciated.
