| Hmmm...  Considering the virtual parity with the $U.S., I wonder why the
| significant price difference?

I'm not sure that there is a real price difference:

US$250 is listed on a non-US site (note: they use the spelling
"colour") which seems to be wrong about a number of detals.  Perhaps
that price was in some publicity bumpf from before the recent fall of
the US dollar.

C$290 and C$260 from different Vancouver stores.  One of which has
been partly taken down.

So what will the real prices be from Canadian stores?  What will the
prices be from US stores?  Too early to tell apparently.
