Dear John,
Thank you for your feedback. In response to your request about dollar parity, the price difference between XM Canada Vs XM US can be explained as such:
XM Canada is competitively priced within the Canadian market place.
Pricing is at the sole discretion of XM Canada and is not a conversion of USD to CAD currency.
XM Canada is an independently owned company, therefore is not a branch of XM US.
If we can be of further assistance, please contact a Listener Care Representative directly at 1-877-GET XMSR (877-438-9677).
