It's about fucking time......senate to investigate huge price differences ....

between here and the US.

As we all have discovered the exact same item here costs sometimes double what it does in the US. Finally there is going to be an inquiry as to why.

The 15% mentioned in the story is typical of the "official" outlook on this issue. I have found that prices are more likely to be double than a mere 15%. A perfect example is 42" flat screen tvs. They were readily available for $400 years before they even got close to that price here.

Another example is vehicles. We're talking 30 40 and sometimes 50% difference.

It's all about supply and demand. A company will try and maximize profits whenever possible.

there are also tariffs on goods in Canada that might not exist in the US, not to mention the cost to do business in Canada is often higher. At least that's Apple's justification for charging an extra 1-300 bucks on everything.
