Ah yes, the priviledges of the GWN and it's trade agreements. Nafta(North American Free Trade Agreement)is heavily biased towards the U.S. Not poking at the U.S. mind you. The Canadian politicians that are responsible for this lop sided agreement should have been hung at dawn. You buy our gas cheaper than we can. You buy cars built here cheaper than we can. We seem to be in a one way system of taxes and tariffs that bleeds us almost dry. Shipping from The U.S. to here usually involves UPS and their criminal brokerage fees that really add up. The one real good deal is New Enough in Texas. They will do USPS which is cheaper and less hassle.

Sorry to hear that.

The only thing that I ever wanted to buy Canadian that was more expensive for me than it would have been for you was the Kawasaki ZZR250.

true... but it isn't just your prices that are higher. your wages are a lot higher than ours from what i can tell

Some wages are higher but that is not the whole story. The actual cost of living on a daily basis can be quite high. Telephones, power, cable, water and other assorted utilities are mostly just cash grabs allowed by the government so their cut is bigger. Don't get me going on health care. It ain't free, believe me.
