UPS is charging a flat 50 CAD “brokerage fees” on shipments from the US to Canada, in addition to the Canadian duties (which are still small, specially for books). I just got hit with it a second time, on a book that was a 35 USD backerkit pledge, so the UPS brokerage fees alone are going to be more than what the book was.

American creators, please avoid shipping to Canada with UPS going forward. Shipping costs and import taxes are a fact of life, but a $50 flat fee on every shipment is very unfair to both the creators and the backers.
