When Amazon first set up the Canadian store there seemed to often be a difference in price for Canadians buying from the US store, and from the Canadian store. Usually, buying from the US was cheaper. That appears to have changed. All the President's Men" is $16.99 CAD at amazon.ca. Given the exchange rate, that means it costs less money buying it from the Canadian Amazon, for this book at least.
