I'm fairly certain that the ETA has a provision that allows you to apply for a return of tax paid in error, though. Granted, it's probably a bureaucratic nightmare and so it's good advice just to not screw up in the first place but I'm pretty sure you can get the $ back if you use the right procedure.
EDIT: Box 1C.
