The Canadian dollar is a lot stronger now and getting stronger ,and so has increased purchasing power to go with it. ( Buys more value for the dollar,and each Tv is only worth a certain value, which declines the closer you get to  new model launches ) Prices should fall for that reason alone. They will keep prices high for as long as possible though ,for increased profits. It usually comes down to whats best for the company rather than the consumer. If they need a surge of money in a hurry,the prices will go lower through sales.....if the retailer decides to pass it on. They want the bigger profits too.
