This whole dollar thing will even out, don't snub canadian retailers just yet.

I'd snub Canadian mega chain retailers because they gouge Canadian consumers every chance they get. When Wal-Mart came to Canada it forced a lot of them to start lowering their prices. The same thing will happen now. Wal-Mart will adjust their prices based upon the currency appreciation and they'll follow but only because they have to.
Look at Indigo/Chapters. Go into their stores and the prices are a lot higher then they are online. They're gouging customers because they don't have to worry about an Amazon store being nearby with fair pricing.
