For the first time in 31 years, the US dollar is on par with the Canadian dollar! Now is the time for us Canadian deviants to take advantage of these favourable rates and stock up!
1 US Dollar = 1.01343 Canadian Dollar

You know you've cursed the fact that there is so much deviant goodness here on deviantART, but you couldn't take advantage of it because all the prices were in US dollars and you cursed the conversion rate. Well curse no more, the US dollar is at an all-time low and rumour has it that the Canadian dollar will actually be worth MORE than the US dollar for a short time before the rebound happens. So, my fellow Canadians, now is the time to jump up and top up those subscriptions! Dive into the deviantART shop like a bus load of pensioners on a trip to Buffalo and grab yourself some of that £
deviantWEAR that you always wanted but was always priced way too high for us north of the border. Now is also the time to go and grab up all those prints and calendars you always wanted because I doubt the rates will be this favourable again.
Yes, you're probably like me and you're thinking, "Sure, I can get great stuff, but what about the postage?" Well, if you're like me you're constantly cursing the fact that it costs so much to get anything shipped from the US up to us here in Canada, so I'm calling on all you Canadian deviants to stand up and tell deviantART that we want more choices! We don't want to pay $10 to ship one print! Speak out with your buying dollars and tell those people down there at the US Postal Office that Canada isn't on another planet, we're right here above them and we're tired of getting screwed on postage! Let's tell deviantART that we're quite happy to spend our money, but we want more choices when it comes to shipping! In the meantime stock up and save that postage by ordering multiple items all at the same time... You know you want to.

Also, since they ship from right here in california, and they send stuff all the way across country for the same price as they do to me, I don't see how it would be any different delivering stuff to Victoria. So yeah, dA should be fair! (and the post office)
