You can inform yourself or do the math; exchange rates between US and Canadian dollars. Shipping costs. License costs. Import fees. Taxes. And then some form of profit (I sure as hell would not do this for free).
A Marui at US prices (I've seen them too) of about $250 is far from $250cdn by the time it gets into Canada. All of that does matter. It's not a high volume business either. If airsoft was more open legally speaking, and importation fees were different, the prices here would match US prices pretty much dollar for dollar.

I know why the prices are higher, I was just saying that Speaks didn't understand that SnakeEater was saying the exact same thing as Speaks was replying to SnakeEater...uh...yeah.
