Actually, you only have to pay it to the company if they are incorporated in your province of residence -- but you are "supposed" to self-assess the amount when you "import" the item into your province, and pay it to your own provincial government.
My (albeit limited) understanding of the other scenario is that, if a company is federally-incorporated, you pay both GST and PST, regardless of whether they have an office in your province. I'm a little fuzzy on the second, however. Anyone want to confirm/deny?
