According to this article, Canadians are paying more for a whole range of retail products, including cars and video games, despite the Loonie becoming equal to the US Dollar. Worse than that, these US companies are ripping you off and making extra profit.(see article)

According to this article, the reason for this price gap is that Americans are ancy about prices and the companies don't want to lose the US marketshare. Canadians get taken advantage of for no other reason than they are okay with paying more for the same things.
I want Canadians to speak up and the next time you get a U-Haul, or a video game, look at the price gap. ASK: Why am I paying 9 more dollars???? Write a complaint letter, speak up and don't take this BS.
