That is true in most cases. When it comes to the price difference between stuff sold in canada, and the same items sold in the US, there is huge disparity between the 2.

So if we go to the states and purchase items, the demand in canada will fall, then the prices in canada should fall as well.

Manufacturers set the MSRP, retailers set the final price.

There is no reason a book that costs $20 USD should cost $50 CDN. At least now.
