Seeing as how a Canadian Dollar is worth $0.74 American.....

that STILL means that the (for instance) Sony 2010 listed  for $1000
Canadian would be $740 American (for a radio that's worth less than $350 on
any auction you care to view on Ebay) -- better than twice its value.

Perhaps you could get a discount brain (that isn't so rude) for yourself!

Not a very "Irie" answer, Buju.  It's not like we're talkin' Jamaican
dollars here.
