Way to weird dude...did you use the cheapest shipping or UPS? I've never had to pay duty on anything I have ordered from the states, I don't see why it would start now...

Anyways if you chose UPS:

UPS AIR SERVICE $22.99 plus $3.10 a pound
Usually arrives in 2 - 5 days. Brokerage is included. 5% GST, applicable PST, and a $5.85 CAD fee is due at the time of delivery. Additional fees if value over $4300 CAD.

Also, found this that has some info too for Canadians:

For an item to qualify as a "gift", a friend or relative must send it to you personally and include a card or other notice indicating that it is a gift.

If you receive an imported gift by mail that is worth CAN$60 or less, you will not have to pay duty or tax on it.
If the gift is worth more than CAN$60, you will have to pay any applicable duty and taxes on any amount over CAN$60.
For example, if a relative sends you a gift worth CAN$200, you must pay any applicable duty, GST or HST and PST on CAN$140.

Items that do not qualify for the CAN$60 gift exemption include the following:

tobacco;
alcoholic beverages;
advertising material; and
items sent by a business

Looks like I am paying a small fee. Silly post office.
