Yes, very often. Most of the time in the US, the publishers are dictating the prices and won't allow discounts, and they have high expectations for what they think they can sell.
Kobo books (mostly ADE-DRM ePub, some PDF, watch out for the few "online/mobile"-only titles which you won't be able to use), especially if you're Canadian (I assume GTA in your location refers to the Greater Toronto Area).
They offer frequent discount coupons (there are a couple in the Deals forum running right now, for 25% off and up) which can apply to most, but not all of their books, and the checkout will warn you if a book is non-discountable before you try to apply the coupon code.
Plus they charge in CAD and accept Chapters Indigo gift cards now, so you can avoid a whole bunch of little USD credit card charges that might trigger a fraud-suspicion warning at your CC company.
