I applaud you efforts as well Neal but I do think we have a right to speak up, thought not about you.
Prices for live stock locally, I don't have a issue with any of the places and if I choose not to buy it's more a concern of quality. Price of equipment is another thing. When you see stuff here that's double and sometimes more, than what I can get from J&L or OA delivered, I might not complain, but I'll just be making a phone call south. Never been personally to either J&L or OA but it's my understanding than they both have stores so we aren't really comparing apples to oranges. I'll still support my LFS but it going only be for the $5 piece of foam rather than the pump or the new set of lights. |

Underlying this is a lot of emerging (formerly repressed) resentment and anger about the long-term weakness of the C$, and how that has affected us when making purchases. Many retailers were getting skinned for years, and are reluctant to give up the gravy when they finally see some.
Also, bear in mind that many of the prices in the US will be going UP to meet us. The US dollar is falling against world currencies, not just C$. Some of the price discrepencies are the result of inventory levels in the US (old prices) not just in Canada. The tax and duty rates, population density (market size, shipping, economies of scale), energy costs, and a host of other factors will keep Canadian prices somewhat higher than the US on a lot of items for a long time (forever)? |

howdy20012002 I agree with you completely and skimmin no offence but your very ignorant and if I was howdy I wouldn't deal with you anymore either. You wanted him to order in the maroons and he can't guarantee the shape there gonna come in or the fact you got absolutely r*ped if you payed $110 for your perculas. Him giving you $15 each is actually fairly generous as most would likely only give you $10 so if I was you I'd stop complaining and apologize cause wasn't his fault and your the one in the wrong on this one
