Very true.  So cars should be cheaper in Canada as there is no lemon law to 
protect us and reduces costs them for defective products.  I know first hand 
about US lemon law, it works.

Yep.  We need some stiff anti-trust laws, and to enforce them.  If you want 
to sell in Canada, you have to offer the same price as you do everywhere 
else.

Would be much more simple just to drop the RIV and drop the daytime 
luminosity thing.  US has daytime lights, just not as bright as Canada, bet 
the dealer associations slide that one in.  Maybe let a Carmax setup shop in 
Toronto and Vancouver selling US vehicles.
