And in Canada, nothing is being done about similar pricing discrepancies.

'Country pricing' a cause of Canada-U.S. price gaps ...

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/story/2013/02/07/marketplace-country-pricing.html

The practice called 'country pricing' affects products across the board,
not just IT products, i.e.

"Edmonton resident Christine Maligec was shocked to find the playpen she
  bought from Toys "R" Us cost $129.99 in the U.S., but jumped to $249.99
  in Canada."
