Well.. what can we do? It's the regulatory requirement and duties that makes the prices go up.

People always say this, but have yet to see a calculation that would really drive a product up by 10%.  The HST in BC is 12%, and the sales taxes in WA, for example, is about 9%.  I can understand if things are 3% more expensive, but how come the differences become ~10% more in most cases?!?!?

From the manufacturers to distributors to retailers to consumers, there are many factors in things costing more in Canada. Primary reason: volume. We simply don't have the volume to drive prices down. (Apple is exception) The distribution network in Canada is nowhere near as wide as the US.

From what I was reading a while back, the purchasing volume in Canada is roughly about 5% compare to the US. Go figure.

The Canadian price is $20 more than US.  With the exchange rate, they are ~$30 more.

    * Apple iPad 2 16GB WiFi = $519
    * Apple iPad 2 32GB WiFi =$619
    * Apple iPad 2 64GB WiFi =$719
    * Apple iPad 2 16GB WiFi + 3G = $649 (suggested retail price)
    * Apple iPad 2 16GB WiFi + 3G = $749 (suggested retail price)
    * Apple iPad 2 16GB WiFi + 3G = $849 (suggested retail price)
