We will always see a massive price difference in Canada. For the poster who suggested importing goods from the states to start their own business. I actually did try that. I was hit with a 30% duty charge. It killed all profit margin. I love how the finance minister tries to deflect the true cause of the problem by blaming retailers. I know they probably are responsible for a portion of the price difference, but I have no doubt the majority of it is caused by duty.
Also its not fair to expect the same prices in the states anyway. The consumer market is just not as good in Canada. Its less efficient to transport goods and we have less people shopping in the stores. Its a question of economy of scale.
