"The situation certainly isn't PB's fault, but quoting US prices doesn't help anybody." To all Canadians, but in particular the residents of the lower mainland, as a resident of Bellingham, WA I am very grateful to see you coming south every weekend and supporting our businesses. Thank you for all you add to our community! Kootenay, you mention costs associated with import taxes, etc. Vancouver certainly has the infrastructure to handle direct shipping from overseas, perhaps your efforts would be better spent rallying other business owners to modify your tax code or distributor network to better compete with American prices than complaining about Mike spreading factual information.
