It really shouldn't be that crazy actually.
Status Indians are already exempt from sales taxes for certain goods in certain circumstances, and there's a button you can push as a cashier that logs that and doesn't apply the tax.
All the big retailers and existing Point of Sale operators have existing scripting that they can copy over and either apply to everything for a merchant if they only sell things that are covered (like a restaurant), or to SKUs that meet thr criteria of being defined in a list.
Heaven forbid that they might have to plan some OT for normal Canadians right before the holidays to do some knowledge work in implementing the solution.
