Canadian Dollar still not good enough?

The Canadian dollar has been close to par and even above par with the U.S. for over a year now, yet we Canadians still pay more for the same products. My niece bought a baby stroller in the U.S. for $50 less than the cost of the same item in Canada. Everything from books, to gas, to electronics, to cars are still way too high in price Canada. When are we going to see our prices even up with the U.S.?

I was happy to see on the news last week, AND IN THE STORE, that the price of Hallmark Greeting Cards now has only one price on the back. No U.S. price and Canada price, just one cost. Finally! Someone is seeing the light and realizing we should not be paying so much more for the same products when our dollar is almost the same.

Ordering online is still too difficult but I think most of that is the cost of shipping from the U.S. to Canada.... as long as they don't charge shipping on top of the higher priced item.

Do you think any other products will come down in price? What do you think will be next and when? Books are a sore spot for me. I want to see the Canadian and U.S. prices the same. What about you?
