The cost of living is more in Canada than in the US. There for a retailer has to charge more for a skimmer etc. here so they can make their more expensive car payments buy that more expensive TV and and pay their more expensive mortgage payment and put that more expensive food on the table.
For the price of that skimmer to go down the price of EVERYTHING that we buy on a regular basis will have to down and I don't think that that is going to happen anytime soon.
