And that's why I say you can choose to do what you want.
Again, if you want to complain, write a letter to Panasonic.
(This isn't just directed to you, smackjack22, this is for everyone who doesn't like the price discrepancy. It isn't fair to blame Future Shop when all of the retailers have the same price, which is based on the MSRP which is set by Panasonic.)
Ultimately, there is going to be no agreement in this discussion. As smart, intelligent people, you are able to make your own decision where you spend your money. The key thing is that you are aware of the impacts of where you spend your money. It isn't just as simple as saving some money, but so long as you're satisfied with that, well, it's up to you. Again, like I said, it's a free country.
As I stated before, the above comments are my opinion and I hope you can all respect them, even if you might not agree with it. And if it has made you consider that there is more to this than simply where you shop, then that's all that matters.
And that's why I simply wouldn't buy the TV. By not buying it and by choosing to go with a different manufacturer altogether, you're choosing to send Panasonic a message. But if you don't like the other available options, you have to decide whats more important to you - the TV or your disgust at Panasonic for ripping you off just because you live in Canada.
And don't feel bad for the others who bought it. If they have enough money to go out and buy it, then so be it. Every person can choose how they spend their money.
Again, write to Panasonic. If enough people complain, maybe they'll do something about it.
