Shopping in Canada for synths is retarded. All of the prices are set from when the dollar was really, really low compared to the US dollar, so if you go to a store, they charge $625 Canadian for the Micron. If you buy one online for $399 US, then it comes out to $465... but once you do, you end up having to pay $60US for shipping.
I don't understand why the Canadian market for gear is so pathetic.
I assume quite a bit of their stock has been there for a few months and prices don't go down much until there is talk of something that will be the new flagship product. Anyways, with this time difference, they may have imported the product when the dollar was not doing so well or that the distributors down south are not being fare.
Actually, I think it is worth some investigation here. Our dollar is up but we can't import anything at the proper price conversions. Might be the case of distributors milking us. Either the distributors or the stores doing the selling.
