In general, I find that most items are available in Canada for about the same price as available in US locations - at a one to one exchange rate (ie cost for restaurants, consumer tech hardware, natural gas, lumber, electricity, gasoline)
Actually, I think we've had cheaper gasoline for a couple of years now but we just had a big increase so I don't know if that is still true (when you convert volumes and currencies ... currently $0.825/Litre where I am = $1.80/USGal) I don't know economics but we seem to be able to get pretty much everything that is available elsewhere and a lot of it cheaper than it's available in the source country - go figure It seems to be harder to find tech items on the net from Canada though - unless it's mainstream consumer items Wade Weppler ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote*: > >I can confirm Canadian pricing.
