there are so many reasons why Canadian prices on most goods and services are higher. Most would require being an economics major to understand.

Things from Supply / Demand issues.
Higher cost of wages of employees of companies that need to be covered
and many many more
taxes

at least we have some closeness right now cause of the dollar being on par. But 10 years ago when 1 Canadian only bought you .65 american, Things were extremely different.

That CD that cost 9.99 in the states was 17.99 up here. That $25,000 car was 40,000 up here.
