furthermore, the retailer here in canada will still have to charge you more, because they had to get it from there, and that cost things, and they have a business to run, so unless we're talking items which are supplied en-mass to the canadian market, you're really not going to be finding an amazing deal up here.

I've found deals in Canada are still better than the US after I pay exchange rate, shipping, COD, tariffs etc, and I would rather know the full cost up front then get a surprise down the road.
