Amazon.ca (now) rules! The last time I looked, when the Canadian version of the site was launched, they really didn't have any selection of techincal books and the prices were nothing special. Now it seems things are up to par with the US version. I just bought Modern C++ Design: Generic Programming and Design Patterns Applied for $46.89, (30% less than the Chapters price), with free shipping, no PST, and especially no customs bullshit.
