Frank,
Understanding that math isn't your long suit let me put it this way. With our current rate of exchange, in real dollar terms we in Canada are paying just slightly less than our friends in the U.S. for the same car. Our wage scale compensates for the difference in the value of our "dollars" assuming a constant "standard of living" in the two countries (ours is actually slightly higher). I lived in the U.S. for several years in the '80s and when I moved down my salary was adjusted for the difference in the currency (bigger # in Canada, smaller # in the U.S.) when I moved back to Canada the same happened (smaller # in U.S., bigger # in Canada). I wasn't worth more, I just got a bigger #. Having said all this, there is no difference in the price of a SPF whether you buy it in Canada or the U.S..
