While the U.S. has some states with no sales tax, this does not exist in Canada as far as I know: many provinces have around 12% tax, and even Alberta imposes the national sales tax (GST) which is 5%.  The Canadian price should probably start at USD 509, not 485.


The Canadian price is $499 CAD, but when converted to US dollars, it is $485 USD.

The Canada (Montreal) price includes taxes (14.957% for QST + HST), for a total price of $573 CAD or $557 USD.

I am assuming that California has the highest tax rate, which is why they would have included it in their listing.
