You’re forgetting about the exchange rate. It’s more like 220kish USD vs 170Kish USD

Exchange rate? If you’re not in the US and not importing goods from the US, that’s meaningless.

Things in Canada tend to cost more in Canadian dollars than they do in the states, roughly in proportion to the USD to CAD exchange rate.

Well, for $3 you can buy a dozen eggs in Canada….
