Meanwhile, the American price is around $55.00 so even converted to

As usual, Rich, you have nothing to say and you resort to sensationalism ;-(
First: What card are you talking about? CF? XD? SD? etc... I gig? 2gig?,

In general, you're right in saying we pay more for mem cards in Canada than
in USA, but this is equally true at different stores, including Costco!
Why hone in on one particular store? I see the same thing at Vistek:http://www.vistek.ca/camerastore/MemoryCards.aspxorhttp://tinyurl.com/2tt844
