"But, but, but .... do Canadians actually work harder to earn their $1.25-US-equivalent dollar?
I doubt it. So what that means is ... it's just as easy to earn a new coach battery in Canada as is it here in the U.S.."
hmmm,
33 u.s. gallon gas tank for my bus... $540 can. (made 5 minutes from my house, btw), $280 u.s. shipped
Tinted , thermal pain, sliding rv windows.... $300-400 can., $100 shipped.
Shall I go on?
4 barrel carb for my chev 350... $450 can., nice refurbished unit out of florida, $165 shipped.
... tires, stereo equipment, electronics, household goods... all way way way more than 25% more.
Just compare prices between amazon dot com and amazon dot ca, and you'll see that extra 25 cents on the dollar we allegedly make, doesn't begin to cover the difference. And I know for a fact, there are places in the states where I could make the same wage or more, working in my trade.
