Does anyone living in Canada see the problem with our government not getting a trade deal with the US? Our economy is tanking and so is our buying power. Wake up Canadians!
You might have a point if it weren't for the fact that CUSMA/USMCA is actually still in effect and that goods being sold in the US aren't the same as US point of origin goods. It's not being manufactured in the USA.
Listing one price in USD and the other in CAD makes the gap look bigger than it is - only a 30%ish markup that's mostly due to the completely normal (and unfair) fact that Canada tends to get worse prices on hardware for reasons that aren't because they didn't accept the terms of the deal with Hair Furore.
