The Thing With Canada

I'll tell you something that really "grinds my gears" (Peter Griffin) is the fact I can go on to eBay and purchase an AC Power Adapter for my laptop from Hong Kong, including shipping for $26 but I cannot buy it in my own country for less than $100-130.

Is it greed?

I am buying the exact same OEM part, new for 1/5th of the price I can get it in Canada. There is something seriously wrong with this picture.
