True... with a lot of cash anything is possible! The reality is that it's a lot easier and cheaper to get stuff delivered from the U.S. into Canada than it is to Mexico. Also, most major Canadian cities are not too far from the U.S. All you gotta do is take a weekend trip into the U.S. to get those "hard-to-get" items. It's not so easy for us down here.
