We are very lucky to have retailers such as J&L, OA and Hidden Reef. These retailer have the lowest price in Canada on an ongoing basis. They lower their prices whenever they can. To our benefit they stock inventory of the latest and most desirable item for the hobby. They can not reduce the price of items within their inventory until they sell it and replace it. In some cases that inventory was purchased months before the dollar went to par. Many of the items are made in countries other than the USA. Even though the Canadian Dollar has strengthen against the US, so have many of the other countries currencies. The German Mark, the Japanese Yen and the European Euro have all strengthened against the US dollar.
