I'll buy Canadian products like salmon, fruit and veggies, or things manufactured in Canada even if they do cost more, but I'd be crazy to pay around 20% extra after taxes for something that isn't manufactured in Canada at all
I've also felt that as a consumer, even before dollar parity, Canadian resellers are never price competitive. Despite general lower operational costs and wages, pricing seemed to always be higher. I understand corporate taxation is burdensome in Ontario but it doesn't explain the huge discrepancies in pricing. I would speculate the following is at play...
1) Canadians are not as price sensitive as Americans.
2) Decreased competition in Canada relative to the United States.
3) Onerous overhead in terms of taxation (Ontario) and government bureaucracy.
4) Significant impediments/barriers in importing comparable goods.
As a result, we are going to pay more for just about anything. By way of example, would you believe that wireless providers charge over $50 per megabyte of downloads in most calling plans? This is ridiculous and makes it the most expensive in the world.
