I can't speak to the subie, but with the tC the two cars are not equipped the same between the US and Canada. We get bluetooth, carpet mats, splash guards and a couple other features as standard equipment. Aside from that, each distributor gets different pricing for each vehicle that is based on several factors; exchange rate, tariffs, taxes, expected volume, etc.
It's not really an apples-to-apples comparison.
