A few main vendors pulling out is a good way to force Titus to lower the fees to encourage more vendors to join. Online vendors are more likely to pay the fees because their sales tend to spread over a larger area. LFS outside of BC and AB would probably never see the $1600 per year vendor fee ever come back to them because the main member base is BC and AB. However, we've all been seeing more Ontario activity in the last couple years, so this is great!
I believe Ontario members are mainly on RC where I think the vendor fees are around $3000 per year. If we can continue to get more Ontario activity at CanReef there could be a huge surge of Ontario vendors.
