Vent one: What is with the parity between Canadian and American prices on books and magazines? For those not in the currency exchange loop, the Canadian dollar has been doing quite well in comparison to the U.S dollar for quite some time now, and the two dollars are currently about par. So, why no change in the discrepancy of price? Some governing body needs to address this. As an example, STEP magazine sells its bi-monthly magazine to Americans at $7.95 a pop while us Canadians, deemed richer or simply naive, must dole out $11.50 per issue. What?
Applaud: CMYK magazine on the other hand sells its quarterly magazine to Americans for $8.99, and to Canadians for $8.99. Hurrah! Hurrah! Bravo! Bravo! but...
Vent two: ...if perhaps you’d like to make a commitment to the magazine, show your love and sign up for a year’s subscription, well then all bets are off. Americans get their yearly subscription for $25 per annum, while us Canadians, deemed better endowed or an easy sell, must cough up $38, and only U.S funds will be accepted thank you. What?

haha - don't get me started on the prices of books - I stopped buying books [well, I cut down anyway] because I was tired of paying more money than was actually necessary, or even fair.
