You have to read to almost the end of this supposedly good news story to get to this part:
An online search showed that many Canadian retailers are already reacting to the current position of the Canadian dollar for big ticket items - and some of the deals aren't particularly enticing for bargain hunters.
Best Buy Canada has marked down a large portion of its flat panel inventory, though it's still cheaper to buy many of the TVs stateside.
A 37" Sharp Aquos television is sale priced at about C$2,000 in Canada while it's going for about C$1,725 (US$1,350) in the United States... And a glimpse at both the U.S. and Canadian Amazon websites show that many of the top selling books aren't much of a deal either.
Which all sums up to business-as-usual and this advice to consumers: Caveat emptor.
