It's been this way forever. If prices matched what the daily exchange rate was, there would be new sticker prices every day and you'd have cheapskates flooding the stores on days when the loonie has an extra couple pennies of value to it.
That's not really a reason WHY they are slightly more expensive though. Companies are free to charge what they want for their product. And publishers often go a few extra steps up here. Box art is sometimes in two langauges, we often get two manuals, and other such things. So we're not paying extra for American copies, we're paying for Canadian copies from Canadian publishers. And stores that buy those set their own prices when selling them. Broader questions about the prices of products in other countires requires an answer from someone well versed in economics though. Which I am not. Jam it back in, in the dark.  |
