WalMart Canada has made a big deal of the fact that they are going to sell books at US prices. Big gesture, small cost. They are of course a general merchandiser, so books are a sliver of their sales. And their head office and supply systems are in the US, so they can readily source their inventory where the real price really is American.
No such luck for Canadian booksellers. Pretty much all we sell is books, and pretty much everything we buy is in Canada.
