Of course, with the Canadian $ gaining $.08 in the last month, we could be heading towards parity again, or even worse (in this situation) a higher dollar, but Canadians have always benefited, just a little, from that $.99 price point on music. Of course, the price is still about $.23 higher than what they're paying down in the states. And as the Canadian $ gets stronger, that discrepancy is going to climb. The dollar would have to plummet down to...well, I'm not sure, and it's too late to try and figure out the math, but it'd have to drop down pretty low to gain iTunes TV show parity with Americans. Me? I'm just hoping that since Canada walks the cultural tightrope between our British heritage and our American overlords, er, neighbours, that we get some Brit-shows in the iTunes store, specifically Dr. Who and Torchwood.
