Manufacturers keeping Canadian prices high: retailers

Retailers scheduled to meet with Federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty on Tuesday say the minister's consumer "crusade" to bring Canadian and American prices in line is misdirected.

When I read this article, I realized how much more we are paying compared to Americans. I never really thought much about this but now I realize that it is getting a little bit ridiculous with the Canadian dollar being worth more than the USD. You see the price increase most drastically in electronics where the price is marked up at least 50%. I hope that they are successful in lowering prices.
