US and Canadian Dollars equal, but not really

For the first time in my lifetime the good old Canadian Dollar is worth about the same as the U.S. Dollar.

Woot!

But wait a second... If that "golden bird coin" flopping around in my pocket is worth more than the "greenback" then why am I still seeing prices that are much higher than in the U.S.

Take for example the iPod Touch ( I still want one, but might hold off for 2nd generation). In the U.S. the 16GB iPod Touch retails for $399USD. In Canada, $449CAD! Where did my $50 go to.... plus I have to pay more in tax.... where's the justice?

I'm tired of getting the old screw job, especially on electronics. Now that the Loonie is rising I think were are going to see more Canadians demand more fair pricing
