Well it hasn't yet but it will soon enough which will affect most games and when it does, $60 games which are already $70 will be $75 for consoles and I am sure the handheld games prices will also be going up so I have to keep in mind all the spending that I will have to do throughout the year and not just when it releases. And of course, when you add the tax, it just goes to nonsense ville completely

Doubt it. Our prices have been the same for years. Even when our doollar was doing far better and oours was higher than the US it made no difference. Even when it has been much lower it still didn't change. 

It has consistently be 5 bucks more for a long time, not including taxes oof course.

Lol what? No it hasn't been the same for years... Early last year, the prices for games went up $5-$10 due to the weak dollar... Do you even know what the dollar is at right now?

Are you sure you even live in Canada cause you should have noticed the price hike easily

Perhaps there are regional differences. Yes, I am quite sure I live in Canada. Born and raised. In my area there has been no price hike on games or consoles. Although, with that said, the prices around here have always been slightly higher than the US. On a 60 dollar game, it's generally $65 instead, and for consoles it's generally about $50 bucks more. For indie games it varies, generally it's around that 5 to 10 percent extra.

the prices shown on that article are what they are now. The prices as far as i noticed haven't changed since the release of the Wii U. Before that I hadn't bought too manygames, perhaps it was during that time of parity that I missed out on lol. I always remember them being an extra 5-10 with the exception of when I was quite young.

Yes, it is roughly at 80 cents. Much better than the 60ish cents int the early 2000's. Almost everything stuck from those low point worth till now, even when the dollar was at $1.10is. Like I said though, there was atime when I had other worries than video games so it might have changed during that time. 

As I said, I doubt it though. The dollar has been in much worse shape than it is right now and it hasn't exceeded the prices we are seeing now.
