Actually business tax is considerably lower in Canada than in the U.S. but income tax is higher but only by about an average of 5%. Much of the reason prices are higher here is the smaller market and of course we have to pay for the "free healthcare", think about how many Americans lose everything when there is a major medical emergency before complaining too much about prices. I usually find that when pressed many local merchants can match the price on items that are available but because of the smaller market the diversity of choice is less.

I actually see the same price that Calum see's. If I were to guess, I'd guess that Lenovo's US site is actually changing the price based on the IP of the visitor.

I see $229 US$ versus $329 CDN
That is over 40% more than the US pay. But you could buy a Dell SFF for ~$275 in Canada....

If you want to complain check your facts first and look at the rest of the world:
PS4:
US 400$
UK 500$
CA 400$
Germany 500$
Norway 600$
Keep in mind that you also have free health care which let's you work for the money unlike us which makes your country the cheapest, NOT counting average salary.

I thought it was just blacked out hockey games and lines at Tim's that pissed off Canadians.
