The thing to remember with Best Buy here- it is a different company than in the States. All that Best Buy here is Future Shop stores, and Future Shop has paid licensing/royalties to Best Buy- US to be able to use the name.

Actually, Best Buy bought out Future Shop in the early 2000's. Best Buy USA is their parent company. Which would make me think that Best Buy and Future Shop up here would be part of the overall company buying power. Take into account that no duty for items made in USA coming across the border, shouldn't the fridge only have a difference of currency exchange and transportation costs? $1000 seems like a pretty steep difference to me and probably has more to do with the fact that Canadians just take it and don't complain.
