If it's on par with US$, then why the hell do I still have to pay twice as much for magazines, dammit.

Taxes & distribution fees. Even if we are on at par, things are always going to be more expensive in Canada. It just costs more to get shit here. The only way things are going to be equal is if we, say, became the huge 52nd state, Canada.

All products are more expensive in Canada, books and magazines just have both prices on them so it's more notable. Currency=volatile so even though we're par-tastic right now, it could just as easily change tomorrow and setting the prices to be the same when the product was bought at a considerably higher price would be suicidal for any business.

I've seen some improvements-newer books are slowly starting to only have one price on them so I guess a more reasonable price could be stickered on. But it'll never be the samesies.

I work at Chapters and it has become my job to tell often terrifying people this :<

theeeeen... I don't know, something silly like shipiing fees, and those illegal things called tariffs. I don't know why they would want to put tariffs on mags though.

Y'know, I learned all about tariffs back in high school, but I can't remember what they are anymore.
