Yes we are paying a lot of tax and a lot of it don't reach where it's supposed to be (this is another topic). But the sales tax is NOT hidden in the price (add around 6-15% depending where you are in Canada)
As for this thread subject, it is getting more rediculous every day
Here is a couple of example, taking at random using current 1.07$CAN = 1$US
<pre>
Spider man 3 2-disk DVD: amazon.com 22.99$ ( 21,49$CAN) amazon.ca 29.96$CAN 39% more
24 season 6 (pre-order): amazon.com 38.99$ ( 36,44$CAN) amazon.ca 56.55$CAN 55% more
LG - 42" 720p Flat-Panel Plasma HDTV: BestBuy.com 1099.99$ (1028,03$CAN) BestBuy.ca 1299,99$CAN 26% more
Whirlpool Duet Sport Front Load Washer: sears.com 699.99$ ( 654,19$CAN) sears.ca 899,99$CAN 37% more
</pre>
We do pay more tax and maybe shipping cost are slightly higher but never to a ratio 20-60%. This goes straight to profit of company.
Hopefully all the shopping done in the US will make company realize they are stealing us. 3 hours waiting at the custom borders is now regular near Plattsburgh, NY and package from US to Canada are waiting over 2 weeks to be processed at the post custom office with so much backlog.
Canadian, Buy US and we will save a lot
