Most of us find ways around it like using a US based credit card and such. I negotiated great domain pricing from enom years ago and sticking with them.

No problem, I just don't think it's fair for Canadians either way. And Godaddy's lame excuse blaming the .org actual registry saying that they were telling Godaddy to charge a higher price to canadians was laughable, GD should have just owned up to the fact they are intentionally scamming canadians. It's like a kid getting his hand caught in the cookie jar and then making a lame excuse why he got caught.
GD is shady one way or the other. Domain pricing should be uniform right across the board because it's not like a tangible good where shipping etc.. comes into play where a higher price can be justified for different countries. Not to mention, GD keeps pushing their "Dscount Domain Club" and one of the selling points is that you are getting a discount by buying into the club for $150. But in reality, it couldn't be further from the truth.
Discount Domain Club price for Canadians (org) = $15.59 CAD
Name Silo Regular Price for canadians = $9.95 USD converts to around $14 CAD and Name Silo has free Whois Protection included.
So the Discount Domain Club is a sham from the start
