It really sucks that the refurb store is only in the US and Europe; there's GOT to be at least some merchandise that gets returned in Canada.....

They don't call it refurb, but that's what you get

unlikely it seems, because all the stuff from the canada store is actually shipped from the usa...and because the items are all of "limited quantity" there is not a lot of pressure on them to get those extra few sales from canadians as they don;t seem to have any trouble selling the refurbs to americans - why create another level of bureaucracy when they don't have to. unfortunate, as i may have taken advantage of it at some point, but so it goes...

Find yourself someone who works at Apple Canada, make friends with them, and get in on the refurb/demo pool.
