I'm a seller for over a year and in the next year I will be legally obligated
to charge sales taxes (GST, HST, QST,..) on all Canadian orders. For the Euro
zone and the USA the taxes are automatically collected by Bricklink. When this
feature will be implemented for us in Canada (5th larger country by number of
stores after USA, UK, Germany and Netherlands)?
It will be more useful and easier to understand for buyers and sellers.

Pretty sure it's already in the works. It was mentioned it was in their plans
somewhere on the forum in 2021, when the US taxes were being implemented.

BL has to, by law, collect US Sales Taxes, UK-VAT and EU-VAT.

Is there such a “marketplace law” in Canada yet?
Noy yet, but I have no doubt this will happen eventually.
Three provinces already have a marketplace law: Quebec, Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
BC will have one effective 1 July 2022.
That’s four out of nine provinces (Alberta doesn’t have a PST).

Links? Or are you just talking about their tax laws. They don't call out
marketplace.
Saskatchewan law is the best. Residence if buying goods from outside of the province
are supposed to voluntarily pay the tax they should have been charged to the
province.

It’s supposed to work that way in the USA too: some states call it Used tax.
You buy in your state: you pay Sales tax to the seller. You buy from another
state: you report and pay Used tax on your own.
Thing is, no one did it and big internet sellers, 1. have their HQ in tax-friendly
states, and, 2. put their warehouses just over the state border for those states
that were a bit more clever and phrased their tax law to account for warehouses
and not HQs.
(It’s the same for import VAT: if you should have paid and didn’t and Customs
didn’t spot it, you are supposed to declare on your own.)
That's some gutsy law writing.
I’d have said naive… but English is not my first language

Has anyone heard anything? Are they going to be compliant?

They mentioned it in the recent newsletter but no date or anything. but yeah
the deadline is approaching so I'm curious if they will have it in place
in time.
