Gouge and screw thats the Canadian way, funny how Canadians only complain that "big oil" is ripping them off while they get ripped off on everything they buy.

They'll respond like book publishers did, remove the US price so you can't see you're getting hosed. Maybe they can lobby the CRTC to block US ads so we can't see their prices on other stuff.

Like expensive cars and other big ticket consumer goods. Shinto's got a point.

Canadians still pay more taxes than Americans do, that's the difference here.

the trouble with we canadians is we have a short memory.. we had put the heat on over this last fall but they equalized the prices a bit and we stopped.. walmart is still a major culprit .. its about an hr from here to northern newyork.. the price on some things is like 3 bucks difference.. even with the dollar up and down its worth the trip.. JC penny is screwing canadian shoppers though charging 6% on canadian money...
