This one comes up often enough that we need an FAQ. You need
to use the mv_handling feature.

In shipping.asc:

gst	GST	[subtotal noformat=1]	0	99999999	x .07
pst	PST	[subtotal noformat=1] [value state]	0	0	0
pst	PST for Alberta	AB	0	99999999	x .075
pst	PST for Ontario	ON	0	99999999	x .08
etc.
pst	No PST		0	99999999	0

GST is always applied, but PST can be geographically qualified
on province. The first line just sets up the geographic qualification.

Now just set:

	[value name=mv_handling set="gst pst" hide=1]

somewhere at the top of the checkout page.

Finally:

	GST: [shipping gst]
	PST: [shipping pst]

All of this requires a reconfig of the catalog, of course. And the
state qualification may not work for you, as I happen to know that 
Canada can do some funny things with PST exemptions based on postal
code. There you should have a custom usertag to calculate your PST
percentage.
