Second most of the brands (apple nike and whatever) are made i nChina and we know that because of dolar situation and debt situation between china and us, the states can get their stuff basicly for nothing - just print those dollars). Thats two. And many many more factors. Nothing to do with "oh our currency is worth the same" stuff

you have to understand most price differences between the US and canada used to be pretty much the currency difference. ex: when the loonie was 60 cents something that cost $100 in the US would cost $140 here ... as the loonie reached parity none of the prices have dropped.
