My best guess (and it is only a guess) is that Penguin would rather fight with Amazon over Canadian sales, than over sales to the US. I have noticed that Penguin sales in Canada through Kobo have gotten very expensive--$20 and $21 pricing for books that have been out for several years.
Very possible. I believe Amazon Canada is a separate company and can operate freely in Canada thanks to a favorable court decision last year. All these Agency agreements may need to be reworked for the Canadian market.
