Umm.. How much in minimum wage in the states? In Ontario, it is 6.85 i believe. So I guess if yours is lower, than it is all good.
One of two things is happening and it doesn't matter either way.

Either the games come direct from japan to BOTH the US and Canada, or since japan is the country of origin you're still paying the tarrif. If you've ever shipped something internationally you know you have to list all the contents of what you are shipping, the countries the items were purchased in AND the country the items were manufactured in. In this case, Japan, or possibly china is the country of origin. Either way, tariffs still apply since it originally comes from overseas.

I believe the minimum wage varies from state to state. In Illinois its 5.35$ an hour.

But the thing is, for those who don't work, you get like 20 bucks from an aunt from your birthday. In America, you only need like 30 more bucks, but in canada you need like 60 for bucks. See the diff?
Uhhhhhh....

Think about what you just said.

If 20$ was actually 20$ you'd need the same amount of money. Its just that your basic monetary unit is worth less than ours and thus your aunt gave you less money than my aunt.
