Very little gloating, actually. Here in Ontario the liberal government is not happy with this rise and of course cross-border shopping is more prevalent than ever before. I still hate paying $36 for a book that sells for $29 in the US but I just can't justify waiting for hours and hours in line to get in and out of Barfalo.
Saskatchewan and Alberta are raking it in, though. I think I'm going to move there. Saskatchewan, that is. I like flat lifeless places.

See, now, I still don't get that, especially for the books that are written and published in Canada. It sounds just a little like highway robbery, y'know?

Another reason to move to Saskatchewan is that it's hard to spell. However, so is Massachusetts, and it's warmer (most of the time) so I think I'll go there instead.
