I almost always refuse to buy anything from stores in Canada. I don't give a fuck if it helps out business here or not, if I can buy something online for 20-70% less (that includes shipping charges and duties) there there is no way I would ever buy the same item from a store here.

I understand that there is a larger consumer base in USA, but does this explain things like hotels? Hotels are just as full here as they are in the USA. I stay in lots of hotels in Canada with my job, and the shittiest ones cost around $100 a night, with some slightly nicer ones costing $130-160 a night. One of the nicest hotels I have ever stayed in was just on the USA side of the boarder, and it cost me around $95 a night! Even in Rapid City I paid less for a decent hotel than I do in some shit hotel in Canada. Everything here is horribly expensive.
