I'm pretty sure they are exempt because Canada has laws in place to stop this. If not, I would probably end up buying a special offer Voyage to try and get that $300 sticker price down lower. I have yet to see a single review that mentioned it and the website make no mention of special offers or how to turn them off by paying.
It would seem silly that Amazon would only offer Special Offer kindle only and give Canadians no option to take it off because if I cheapened out and bought a PW3, I would for sure go pay extra to get rid of the ads.

You are using a lot of assumptions for someone making definitive statements.
Just because there is not an option to remove ads at time of purchase doesn't mean there isn't a way to remove them directly from the Kindle. It works that way with American Kindles. It's in the settings.
I just think if you are advising someone on what to buy, you should confirm what you say is true, or at least clarify when you mare making assumptions.
