amazon.ca

The question of the day is:

How, on earth, is it that amazon.co.uk and amazon.com both have everything you could imagine you would ever want and amazon.ca has none of those things? The few items that amazon.ca sells run at about twice the price of amazon.com (the exchange rate is almost 1 at the moment, so we can't blame that).

For example, the blank that I wanted to order my Blank for Christmas for $21 on amazon.com runs at $80 on amazon.ca - from only one seller. The other blank that I wanted to buy for the same Blank at $2.99 on amazon.com (from a zillion sellers) is $19.99 from one seller on amazon.ca. Let me tell you, that blank is a really common item that can be found quite easily everywhere, in the real and virtual world, apart from amazon.ca of course, because amazon.ca essentially sells nothing. A whole little of nothing for a whole lot of bucks.  It's like those stores that you walk into that sell so few items that you think 'this must be a drug front'. But a virtual drugfront? Is that possible?
That little amazon.ca logo is smiling because he has nothing to do today or any day, and also he is high on all his drugs.
