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.
If people are still willing to pay $50cdn for a book that retails for $20US, than where is the incentive for the retailers to reduce the price?

If I can sell 100 books for $50 each or 100 books for $20 each, why would I lower the price?
